Description

The Lodge at Lecropt Kirk, dating from around 1825, is a single-storey gate lodge that also served as a former session house for Lecropt Church. It is located in the churchyard and adjacent to the roadside. The building is constructed from pink rubble sandstone, featuring contrasting ashlar dressings that are polished and droved, with a base course. The windows have stone and timber mullions with deeply chamfered reveals, and the openings on the principal elevations are topped with basket-arched lintels.

On the west elevation, there is a projecting doorpiece to the left, which includes a basket-arched doorway with a two-leaf boarded door. To the right of the door, there is a window, and to the far right, a slightly advanced gabled bay features a timber mullioned bipartite window. The east elevation, facing the road, has a door flanked by windows, positioned on slightly rising ground.

The south elevation shows a small window on the gabled end to the right, with a projecting lower gabled section extending to the left. The north elevation has a taller recessed gabled block to the left, which includes a timber mullioned bipartite window, and a lower advanced gabled bay to the right with another bipartite window.

The lodge features timber sash and case windows with a small-pane glazing pattern, and it is topped with a graded grey slate roof. The central ridge has linked and coped ashlar stacks, along with a single stack on the service gablehead.
