Description
North Lodge and Gates at Cornhill House, designed by William Leiper in 1871, is an example of early French Gothic architecture. The lodge is a single-storey, L-shaped building constructed of rubble with freestone dressings. It features a squat column gabled porch located in the re-entrant angle, and a bowed northern gable topped with a spired roof. A three-window bow projects from the main bow, showcasing moulded openings and pendant double-arch sinkings at the lintels. At the back, there is a small office court with a corner turret. The steeply pitched roofs are covered with slate and include a wrought-iron finial at the spire of the bow, along with crowstepped gables. The entrance is marked by square gatepiers topped with pyramids.
