Girvan Lodge, Blairquhan

Girvan Lodge, located at Blairquhan, is an earlier 19th century gate lodge that was likely extended in the 1930s. It is a single-storey, two-bay structure designed in a T-plan with Tudor detailing and an Italianate roof featuring deep overhanging eaves that create the appearance of a broken pediment. The principal elevations are constructed from squared, coursed, tooled sandstone, while the rear extension is made of harled masonry, with polished ashlar dressing throughout. The building includes a base course and hoodmoulds above chamfered, stone-mullioned windows.

The west elevation features a chamfered Tudor-arched former front doorway, which is now glazed, located in an advanced entrance bay. To the left of the doorway is a capped, corniced tall octagonal pier, and there is a single light window on the side elevation. To the right, there is a large, projecting canted window. The north elevation has a bipartite stone-mullioned window, while the south elevation includes another bipartite stone-mullioned window and an additional single light. The rear extension has a modern door and a single light window on its west elevation.

The lodge showcases a variety of traditional glazing patterns, including fixed-pane and timber sash and case windows. It has a grey slate roof topped with a coped, corniced octagonal sandstone ashlar ridge stack that features a tall clay can. The building also has cast-iron rainwater goods.

The gatepiers consist of two capped, corniced octagonal sandstone ashlar structures. The entrance is marked by two-leaf decorative cast-iron gates, with similar decorative cast-iron railings connecting the eastern pier to the gate lodge and the western pier to the boundary wall.
