Description
East Lodge at Dinnet House Policies is a well-detailed single-storey Baronial lodge house designed by Alexander Marshall Mackenzie in 1890. It features 2- and 3-stage crenellated towers and gatepiers with fine ironwork gates, situated at the eastern entrance to the Dinnet House grounds. The building is constructed from Aberdeen bond granite and includes a mutuled cornice and cross gunloops on the towers. The crowstepped gables of the single-storey bays are finialled, and the windows have chamfered reveals and stone mullions.
The entrance elevation faces south towards the gates and includes a 2-leaf timber door set in a low crowstepped bay on the left. The central polygonal stair tower has narrow lights, while a lower circular tower on the right features bipartite windows facing the road. The windows are timber sash and case with a 9-pane glazing pattern over plate glass, and the tower lights have plate glass glazing. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks.
The gatepiers and gates consist of polygonal bull-faced gatepiers with deep stepped coping and large ball finials, flanking the 2-leaf decorative ironwork gates and outer pedestrian gates.
