The White Lodge, 18 High Street, Fochabers

The White Lodge, located at 18 High Street in Fochabers, is a building constructed between 1848 and 1849, likely designed by William Robertson, and it fronts an earlier school from around 1830. This south-facing, two-storey, three-bay house features a symmetrical facade. The exterior is white harled, with significant use of contrasting tooled ashlar margins and dressings. The central entrance has a pilastered doorpiece and a panelled door, with shallow projecting ashlar corniced bipartites on either side. An ashlar cill course connects three gabled first-floor windows that break the wallhead and are topped with later cast-iron apex finials; these windows have 12-pane glazing. The building has end stacks that are raised in brick and a slate roof with a stone ridge.

The rear wing, dating from around 1830, is a single-storey structure with four bays. It features a deep tooled ashlar basecourse and an eaves band. The east elevation has one window that has been converted into a glazed door, with lying pane glazing.

Inside, the interior reveals a moulded combed ceiling from the former schoolroom, which is partially visible in the much-divided rear wing.
