Description

South Lodge at Kimmerghame House dates from around 1830 and has undergone later alterations and additions. It is a single-storey building with an attic and features three bays, designed in the style of William Burn. There is a modern addition at the rear, dated 1947. The exterior is constructed of stugged ashlar with droved chamfered margins, while the rear addition is line-rendered and there is a harled flat-roofed addition on the northwest elevation. The windows are timber mullioned.

On the southwest elevation, there is a boarded door with a plate glass letterbox fanlight above, sheltered by a timber rustic gabled porch. Each flanking bay has a bipartite window. The northwest elevation includes a modern single-storey garage addition. The northeast elevation features a substantial lean-to addition that is advanced at the centre and in the bay to the left, with a recent timber boarded porch at the centre. There is a blinded door opening in the left bay and a window and flush door in the right bay.

The windows consist of 4-pane timber sash and case for the bipartite lights, while there is a metal window at the rear. The roof is covered with graded slate and has ashlar coped apex stacks. A continuous slate-hung platformed dormer is located at the rear, and the garage addition has a corrugated roof.

The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 1996. The gatepiers to the west are square-plan ashlar, coped and topped with substantial ball finials.
