Victoria Lodge

Victoria Lodge is a two-storey and basement Scots Renaissance lodge built around 1900 by J & A Leslie & Reid. It features a courtyard to the northeast and is harled with red sandstone dressings. The design includes a base course, long and short quoins, chamfered reveals, an eaves cornice, and crowstepped gables with stone finials at the apex.

The principal elevation is asymmetrical, with a gabled bay on the left side. It has a five-light canted sandstone window spanning the ground and first floors, topped by a piended slate roof and a sandstone tablet above. To the right, there is a recessed bay with a tripartite window on the ground floor and a single segmental-headed window on the first floor above. There is also a single-storey block adjoining to the outer right, featuring a pedimented window at the centre and a balustraded parapet.

The east and north elevations were not visible in 2000. The west elevation is asymmetrical and consists of four bays, with the outer left section not seen in 2000. It has a gabled bay that advances to the left, a canted window on the ground floor, and a window at the centre of the first floor above. A bipartite window is found on the ground floor of the right return, with a segmental-headed window breaking the eaves to the first floor. There are three recessed bays flanking to the right, with an advanced ingleneuk at the centre of the ground floor, windows on the left and right returns, and bipartite pedimented windows on either side. Two segmental-headed windows break the eaves to the first floor. The lodge features a variety of small-pane timber windows, a grey-green slate roof with lead ridges, stone skews, and corniced wallhead and gablehead stacks with circular cans, along with cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, there is a Jacobean stone and timber panelled dog-leg staircase leading to the hall, complete with turned balusters and decorative newel posts. The grand panelled boardroom includes an ingleneuk fireplace set in a segmental arch with a deep frieze, a decoratively moulded frieze, fluted Ionic columns supporting beams, painted roundels above panelled timber doors, and a boarded panelled ceiling. The washrooms and toilets are decoratively tiled and retain their original fittings.
