Description
West Lodge at Philiphaugh House is a single-storey and attic, two-bay lodge built in 1877 by James Maitland Wardrop, designed in a Jacobean style with an L-plan and shaped gables. The exterior is harled with stone margins, featuring stone mullions and chamfered reveals.
On the southeast elevation, there is a prominent gabled bay with a finial, located to the right of the center, which includes a canted window at ground level and a single window in the gablehead. To the left, there is a set-back bay with a pitch-roofed rustic porch. The southwest elevation presents a gabled facade with a single window in the finialled gablehead, although ground floor details are not visible from the road.
The windows are timber sash and case with plate glass glazing, and the roof is covered with grey slates. The skews are ashlar-coped, and the porch features moulded bargeboarding.
The property is enclosed by semicircular-coped rubble boundary walls, which are complemented by pyramidally-coped square-section ashlar gatepiers.
