Lodge, Cardrona House

The Lodge at Cardrona House is a single-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan building from the later 19th century, designed in a picturesque style. It features a castellated side bay and a later gabled extension at the rear, all constructed from coursed and polished ashlar sandstone with polished ashlar dressings. Most windows have chamfered arrises, and there is a base course present throughout.

On the south elevation, the central area includes an open timber porch with a projecting pitched canopy, a gabled end supported by braced brackets, timber in-fill, a carved drop finial, and an apex finial. This porch is supported by heavy turned and chamfered timber posts with decorative timber rails, leading to a panelled entrance door. The flanking areas have plain windows with chamfered arrises.

The east elevation features a wide gabled end with a central three-light bay window topped by a castellated parapet. It has overhanging eaves with plain barge boarding and a timber braced gable. To the right, there is a similar recessed gable with a plain window instead of a bay.

The building has 8-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, a pitched grey slate roof with lead ridging, flashings, and valleys, and painted cast-iron rainwater goods. There is an ashlar stack at the center of the roofline with a projecting ashlar neck cope, originally topped with paired octagonal cans, although one has now been replaced.

The interior was not seen in 2002 but is noted to be in use as residential accommodation.
