Description
West Lodge and Gate Piers at Belleville House, designed by Peddie and Kinnear and dated 1865, is a single-storey, asymmetrical L-plan gate lodge. It is constructed of coursed rubble with contrasting tooled long and short ashlar dressings. The lodge features a pedimented pilastered portico topped with an anthemion finial. The wide advanced outer right bay contains a central keystoned Venetian window, with similar windows in the north and south gables, all connected by a continuous cornice raised over the centre lights. The sash windows have either 2- or 4-pane glazing, and the building is adorned with urn apex finials, a coped wallhead, and renewed ridge stacks, all beneath a shallow slate roof.
The gate piers, likely built in 1865, consist of two pairs of square polished ashlar piers with chamfered angles and corniced caps, which are linked to similar end piers by cast-iron railings. Circa 1946, there is a pair of carriage gates and matching flanking pedestrian gates; the carriage gates display the MacPherson crest, while the pedestrian gates feature an inscription.
