Lodge, Kames

Kames Lodge is an early 19th-century gate lodge with later additions and alterations. It is a symmetrical single-storey building with an attic and features three bays, along with a single-storey lean-to addition at the rear. The exterior is finished in whitewashed harl with painted margins and projecting cills.

The southeast elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a centrally located two-leaf boarded timber door at ground level, topped by a two-pane fanlight and a timber-bracketed gabled canopy. On either side of the entrance, there are Venetian windows at ground level, while above, bipartite windows break the eaves in piended dormerheads.

The northwest elevation includes a lean-to addition that is offset to the left, featuring single windows at ground level and a centrally located box dormer above.

The lodge predominantly has timber sash and case windows, with Y-tracery on the Venetian openings. The rear has modern glazing and a small rooflight. The roof is covered with grey slate and features iron rainwater goods, along with coped, whitewashed apex stacks and circular terracotta cans.

The interior was not seen during the 1998 inspection. The lodge has a decorative cobbled path leading to the front, creating a charming forecourt.

Flanking the entrance are quadrant walls, piers, gatepiers, and gates. These are coped, harled, and whitewashed, with squat, square-plan outer piers and square-plan gatepiers topped with shallow hemispherical caps. The entrance is completed with two-leaf decorative iron gates.
