Description

Marybank Lodge is a lodge and gateway to Lews Castle, likely designed by Charles Wilson in the mid-19th century. The lodge has been altered and is a single storey with an attic, featuring an L-shaped south-facing front that faces the driveway. The entrance is located in the re-entrant angle, with a canted ground floor window in the advanced gable on the left and an attic light above. It is constructed of pinned rubble laid in deep courses, with contrasting imported yellow ashlar dressings. The glazing and tile roof are both modern. There is a blind wall-head gablet on the west flank facing the roadway, which may have originally had a chimney stack; the main stack is now located at the rear, above a lean-to outshot.

The gateway features cavetto-curved quadrants made of interlocked polygonal stonework, with octagonal ashlar piers and rubble coping. It includes central carriage gates and flanking pedestrian gates, along with cast-iron gatepiers and wrought-iron gates.
