Description

Symington Lodge, designed by A N Prentice around 1915, is a single-storey building with an attic, constructed from whinstone snecked rubble and featuring cream sandstone ashlar dressings. The entrance front includes a gabled wooden porch with plain bargeboards and multi-pane glazing. To the left, there is a circular bay topped with a conical roof and prominent eaves. The gables are finished with slated heads and have 12-pane sash and case windows. At the rear, there is a walled enclosure and a modern flat-roofed attic to the north. A single large chimney stack is positioned at the center of the roof ridge, featuring panelled faces and a moulded cope. The roof and gables are covered with light grey slates and stone copes.

The gatepiers and gates consist of a pair of rubble gatepiers with moulded copes, blocking course, and ball finials, constructed in a similar style to the lodge. The gatepiers have convex-curved wing walls made of less regular construction, which are plain coped. One leaf of the gate remains, designed in a rustic style.
