Description
St Bride's Church Lodge, located at 46 Main Street in Bothwell, was built around 1899 and has undergone later alterations and additions. This two-storey, single, two-bay rectangular-plan lodge features an asymmetrical gabled Gothic style and is situated to the south of St Bride's Church. It has an oriel window facing south and a canted window to the east. There is a single-storey block that abuts the adjacent property to the left (west). The exterior is constructed from bull-faced red sandstone ashlar with polished dressings, including a base course, a cill course on the first floor, and a crenellated blocking course above the oriel and canted windows. The openings are framed with polished long and short surrounds, and the windows have chamfered reveals. The southwest corner features an angle buttress, and the building has long and short quoins.
On the south (entrance) elevation, there is a single gabled bay with a narrow bowed bay set back to the left and a lower bridging bay to the outer left. The entrance features a shallow Tudor arched door surround within a square frame, located to the left of the main gabled bay at ground level, with a replacement timber door and foliate carved spandrels. A window is positioned at ground level in the center, and above it is a pointed-arched four-light mullioned oriel window. To the left, in the narrow bay, there is a narrow window on the first floor. The bridging bay to the outer left contains a three-light window at ground level.
The east elevation features a three-light canted window at ground level in the left bay, with a window in the right bay and a bipartite, trefoil-headed gabletted window above.
The north (rear) elevation has a single gabled bay with a window set to the left, flanked by a vent at ground level. There is a low wall with painted masonry in the upper section and a boarded door that encloses a small yard to the right.
The lodge has mullioned and transommed windows, with some casement openings and others that are fixed. The roof is covered with green slate and features a red clay ridge, with a red clay finial at the western end. The skews are ridged and coped with ashlar, and there is a tall ashlar quadruple cluster stack at the center of the ridge. The rainwater goods are made of cast iron with squared hoppers. The interior was not seen in 1997.
