Description
Bridge of Dee Lodge, also known as Threepenny-Bit Cottage, is a late 19th-century single-storey octagonal lodge with a later extension added to the rear, located on the site of a former toll house. The building is constructed from squared and coursed granite with polished dressings.
The west elevation features a broad face with a central panelled door framed by pilastered jambs and a letterbox fanlight. The circa 1990 extension has a piend roof and is positioned at the rear, opposite the long face of the lodge. Each of the remaining chamfered faces has a window, with the north and south sides featuring piend-roofed, slate-hung dormers that include timber bipartite windows.
The lodge is fitted with sash and case windows, which have a thick central astragal and smaller multi-pane upper sashes. A central square granite stack with a cluster of cans is present, and the roof is covered with grey slates and lead flashing.
