Trinity Lodge, Bridgend, Duns

Trinity Lodge is an early 19th-century large, symmetrical two-storey villa featuring three bays. It has small, set-back, single-storey pavilions that create a shallow U-shaped courtyard at the rear. The building is constructed from crisp, droved cream sandstone ashlar with polished dressings, long and short quoins, and moulded eaves. It has a base course and regular fenestration.

On the south (front) elevation, the centre bay is slightly proud. It features a Tuscan Doric pilastered doorpiece with a broad elliptical-headed doorway, bat-wing fanlight, and later glazed doors. This is encased by a later 19th-century two-bay arcaded glazed ashlar porch with Tuscan Doric pilasters, a cornice without a frieze, and a blocking course. The porch has single bay returns, with the right side featuring a door with fielded panelling. There is a tripartite window on the first floor and a blocking course above. The west pavilion has a piended roof and a blind tripartite window, while the east pavilion has a flat roof with a garage door inserted.

The east and west elevations each have two bays, with the rubble wall of the pavilion advanced to the north on the east elevation, which includes a single window in the centre at ground level and a boarded door to the pavilion.

The north (rear) elevation is made of rubble. At ground level, there is an irregular projecting seven-bay range that links the pavilions, with a flush panelled door in the inner left bay. The first floor has three bays of the principal block, with the left window being blind. The west pavilion has a window under the eaves and signs of former outbuildings.

The villa features timber sash and case windows, with plate glass and a 12-pane design on the first floor of the west and rear elevations. The roofs are piended and covered with grey slates, and there are Velux skylights on the front. The building has corniced ashlar stacks with octagonal cans.

The interior was not seen in 1993. The gatepiers are square, made of droved ashlar with a block cornice and flattened pyramidal caps.
