Lodge, Castlebank Park, Castlegate, Lanark

The Lodge at Castlebank Park in Castlegate, Lanark, is an early 20th-century building with late 20th-century additions. It is a single-storey, three-bay, roughly rectangular-plan, multi-gabled, asymmetrical Tudor revival lodge featuring deep bracketed eaves and applied half-timber gables. The main structure is predominantly constructed of squared and coursed rubble with snecked ashlar dressings, while the rear elevations are made of random rubble. The later extensions are harled. The lodge has a base course, long and short quoins, and tabbed, chamfered window margins.

The west elevation has three bays, with a central gabled timber porch raised on four steps. To the left, there is an advanced gable featuring a canted window below a projecting timber-framed gablehead. A similar gable with a canted window is present on the south elevation.

The windows are predominantly plate glass set in timber sash and case frames. The building features harled ridge stacks topped with small red cans. The roof is covered with grey slate and zinc ridges, and stone ridge finials adorn the west and south gables.

The boundary wall is a low garden wall, likely from the late 19th century, enclosing a small front garden. An earlier rubble wall to the north adjoins later curved walls associated with gates to the estate and features rounded cope stones placed vertically. A wrought-iron pedestrian gate leads to the back garden.

The gates and gatepiers date from the mid-19th century, with later 19th and 20th-century additions and alterations. The gateway consists of six gatepiers, including two freestanding piers at the central vehicle entrance, and two piers attached to wing walls that terminate in additional piers at the road edge. The central piers are made of polished ashlar, while the wing walls are constructed of squared and coursed rubble with flat ashlar copes. The central piers feature two-leaf wrought-iron gates and an overthrow inscribed with the name 'Castlebank Park.' The outer piers have a pedestrian gate to the east and a low wall with railing to the west, both with wrought iron overthrows. The four central piers are chamfered above the base course, with a moulded cornice and flattened domed capstones, which likely originally had stone finials. The outer piers along the road lack a base course and cornice.
