Description
The Lodge and Gatepiers at Harvieston House, dating from around 1800, is a single-storey, three-bay rectangular lodge integrated into the boundary wall of Harvieston House. It is constructed from tooled squared and snecked sandstone with droved dressings polished to the margins. The building features a base course, raised margins, strip quoins, and an eaves course.
The south elevation, which serves as the entrance, is symmetrical with a central doorway that has a timber door, flanked by windows in the adjacent bays. The east elevation was not observed in 1997, nor was the north elevation. The west elevation, which functions as the gate, is asymmetrical and features broached droved margins, a central bowed window, and a window to the left on a flat-roofed extension. There is also a timber door set into the boundary wall on the outer left.
The lodge has diamond-pane, two-leaf zinc windows and a grey slate piended roof with lead ridges. A central corniced sandstone ridge stack is adorned with a fluted frieze and an octagonal can, and there are cast iron rainwater goods.
The gates, gatepiers, and boundary walls include a two-leaf decorative ironwork gate and an ironwork pedestrian gate to the right. The gatepiers are made of three coursed polished sandstone, featuring fluted friezes, deep cornices, and pyramidal caps. The boundary wall to the north and west is constructed from coped random rubble.
