Description

Torrance House Lodge is a late 19th century single-storey lodge-house designed in the Scots Baronial style, featuring a T-plan layout and a courtyard at the rear. The building is constructed from coursed stone and includes a deep base course and an eaves course.

On the northwest elevation, which is the main facade, there is an off-centre projecting section that contains a tripartite window with stone mullions, a hoodmould adorned with geometric bosses, and a relieving arch above. Above this is a blind oculus featuring a carved decorated trefoil in the gablehead. A chimney is located on the left return, with a single window on the right return. To the left, there is a blind bay, while to the right, there is a single window in the bay. An entrance tower is situated in the re-entrant angle, featuring a stone step with dwarf walls, a moulded doorway with a stepped hoodmould, three blind lancet windows above, mock-machicolation, and a conical roof topped with an ornamental finial.

The southwest elevation mirrors the main facade with another tripartite window that includes stone mullions, a hoodmould with geometric bosses, and a relieving arch above, along with a blind oculus in the gablehead.

The southeast elevation, which is the rear, features a central projecting converted courtyard with a central door, a single window to the left, and a single window on the left return, with a blind right return. There is also a single window in the left bay of the house and a brick outbuilding in the right bay.

On the northeast elevation, there is a single window at ground level and a panel in the gablehead decorated with a ball motif.

The lodge has modern glazing, a slate roof with crowstepped skews, shaped skewputts, and a tall stack at the centre.

The property is complemented by a pair of crenallated gatepiers that feature a base, shafts with chamfered upper corners, a crenallated parapet, and a coped shaft in the centre of the parapet. There is also a small boundary wall made of coped stone.
