Description

The Lodge at Ballindalloch, dated 1924, is a single-storey building with an attic, designed in a vernacular revival style. It features asymmetrical crow-stepped gables with beaked skewputts and slightly projecting external chimney stacks. The exterior is harled with sandstone ashlar dressings, some of which on the east side are painted. The building includes a base course, eaves course, and vertical margins at the arrises, with architraved openings.

The west elevation, which serves as the entrance, has three bays. The central bay features a pedimented entrance dated '1924' with a two-leaf boarded timber replacement door. To the left, there is a gabled projecting bay with a bipartite mullioned window on the ground floor and a window above. The right bay has a window on each floor, with the attic featuring a pedimented dormer.

On the south elevation, there is a gabled projecting bay to the left with a bipartite mullioned window on the ground floor and a window above. The entrance is set back to the right, obscured by a late 20th-century conservatory, and has a replacement glazed door. There is a window above to the right and another window at the far right of the ground floor. A single-storey lean-to adjoins the outer right.

The north elevation has a gabled projecting bay to the right with an attic window at the base of the projecting chimney stack. There is an enlarged opening for a late 20th-century conservatory set back to the ground floor on the right, with a large window above. A single-storey lean-to adjoins the outer left.

The lodge mainly features 9 and 12-pane timber sash and case windows and has a grey slate roof. It has a tall wallhead stack on the right return of the projecting bay to the south and a gablehead stack to the north, both of which are coped with round cans.

The interior has not been inspected.

To the west of the lodge is an earlier 20th-century entrance gateway to the Ballindalloch estate, comprising three square-plan concrete gatepiers, with the eastern pier serving as a pedestrian entrance. All gatepiers are panelled and corniced with stepped coping, and they share an identical design with earlier 19th-century gatepiers to the east (pedestrian gateway) and southwest (carriage/cart entrance). A coursed sandstone rubble boundary wall runs along the roadside in between, featuring mainly droved rounded coping.
