St Peter's Lodge, 20 Douglas Gardens, Uddingston

St Peter's Lodge is a house dating to the later 19th century, with subsequent alterations and additions. It is a two-storey, three-bay Italianate style house with prominent projecting bays. The exterior is constructed of stugged pink ashlar sandstone with polished ashlar dressings. Notable features include dentilled overhanging eaves to the projecting bays, a bracketed cill to the central first-floor window, decorative wrought-iron balustrades to the flanking first-floor windows, an eaves course, and dentilled overhanging eaves. Round-arched windows are a key feature, exhibiting columnar mullions with carved capitals and keystones at ground level, and hood moulds at the first floor. Raised long and short quoins are also present.

The west (principal) elevation features a round-arched doorway with flanking columns, a bracketed hood mould with an anthemion crest above the entrance, and a deep-set two-leaf timber panelled door with a semicircular fanlight. A single window is positioned above the doorway at the first floor, and a five-light, shallow pedimented dormer sits above. A five-light square projection is located to the left at ground level, with a bipartite window above it at the first floor. A five-light semicircular projection slightly advances the bay to the right, also featuring a bipartite window above.

The south (rear) elevation presents an irregular fenestration pattern. A canted piended addition is set to the left, a round-arched stair window is centrally positioned, and a five-light piended addition with a single first-floor window and a dormer window above is on the right.

The north (side) elevation is two-bay in design; a window is at ground level in the left bay and a window unevenly disposed at the first floor, with a wallhead stack above. A window is present at each floor of the right bay, also with a wallhead stack above.

The original two-pane timber sash and case windows remain, although uPVC replacements exist at the rear. The roof is grey slate, with slate covering for the additions. Ashlar coped stacks and cast-iron rainwater goods (with some uPVC replacements) are also present.

The interior retains extensive ceiling plasterwork and decorative cornices, though not fully visible in a 1997 inspection.

A square-plan, piended summerhouse is also part of the property; it features a harled base with a timber and glass superstructure which incorporates some stained glass motifs and columns at the angles. A projecting entrance portico includes a timbered gable, bargeboards, a partially glazed timber panelled door with flanking narrow lights, and piended projections with replaced opaque glass panels. It has a modern felt roof covering with a weather vane, and uPVC rainwater goods.

The gatepiers are chamfered square-plan with shield motifs, carved square caps with semicircular motifs, and octagonal acanthus-detailed finials. The boundary walls are constructed of stugged sandstone with a curved ashlar cope.
