Wildcat Gate, Hartrigge

Wildcat Gate is a two-storey, L-plan lodge built after 1895, designed in the style of a Scottish 17th century building. It features squared and snecked bull-faced cream sandstone with ashlar dressings, a deep base course, chamfered and moulded reveals, and a cornice course at the ground floor.

The west elevation, which serves as the entrance, has two bays. To the left is a gable with a piend-roofed canted window at the ground level and an ashlar mullion at the center, along with a tripartite window on the first floor and a louvred slit in the gable. To the right, there is a recessed single-storey bay with a gabled porch in the re-entrant angle, featuring a stop-roll-moulded basket-arched door surround and a modern door, along with a blank square plaque in the gablehead. A stair window interrupts the cornice to the right.

The south elevation has a recessed bay to the left with a porch in the re-entrant angle. To the right, there is a broad gable with irregular fenestration, including a quadripartite window displaced to the right, a stair window above the cornice to the left, and a tripartite window to the right of center in the gable. There is a tile-hung opening at the far right of the gable and a louvred slit at the apex, with a blank recessed bay to the right.

On the east elevation, the left bay features a large shouldered wallhead stack at the apex made up of three linked diamond stacks. The gabled bay to the right has a tripartite window on the first floor and a louvred slit in the gable. There is a broad gable stone porch at the ground level to the right with a doorframe similar to the one described earlier, a boarded door, and a small closet window to the right.

The north elevation displays irregular windows, with the right bay being blank and featuring a wallhead stack. It has modern timber plate glass windows, some with an applied diamond pattern in the lead. The roof is adorned with decorative banded terracotta tiles and plain ridge tiles, while the eaves overhang with exposed rafters. The crowstepped gable includes moulded skewputts and ashlar diamond stacks with a string course at the base, which has been reduced. Moulded cast-iron rainwater heads and brackets are also present.

The interior was not seen in 1992.
