East Lodge, Bughtrig

East Lodge at Bughtrig is an earlier 19th century gate lodge that has seen later additions and alterations. It is a single-storey building with three bays and features classical detailing, along with a single-storey addition at the rear and a porch located in the re-entrant angle at the front. The lodge is constructed from coursed and diagonally-droved cream sandstone, with sandstone ashlar dressings. It has a raised base course, a raised eaves course beneath corniced eaves, and a plain parapet with panelled dies at each corner. The building also includes raised quoins, raised margins, and projecting cills, while the rear addition is dry-dashed.

On the southeast (entrance) elevation, there is a central two-leaf timber panelled door, flanked by single windows in the outer bays. The porch, which is recessed to the right, features small-pane glazing, and there is a single window in the single-storey addition that is recessed to the outer right. The southwest (side) elevation has a single window centred in the original block to the right and another single window centred in the later addition to the left. The northwest (rear) elevation contains single windows in the three-bay addition. The northeast (side) elevation features a single window centred in the original block, which is recessed to the left, and a part-glazed modern timber door in the porch that is advanced to the right, with the single-storey addition projecting to the outer right.

The lodge predominantly has 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, although some modern glazing is present in the later addition. The original block has a grey slate piended roof with a corniced ridge stack at the centre and circular cans.

The interior was not seen in 1998. The entrance is flanked by low coped sandstone walls, and there are square-plan, stop-chamfered corniced sandstone gatepiers topped with shallow pyramidal caps, along with modern gates.
