East Lodge With Gate And Gatepiers, Glenmuick Estate

East Lodge with Gate and Gatepiers is a picturesque Gothic gate lodge dating from the later 19th century, possibly designed by Sir Samuel Morton Peto. This single-storey building features three bays, steep pitched gables, and overhanging eaves. The exterior is adorned with ornate banded decorative slate work and a distinctive glazing bar design. It is constructed from bull-faced, squared, and coursed granite, with a splayed base course, narrow dressed margins around the openings, tooled granite canted bays, and piended roofs. Decorative finials adorn the gable apexes and dormers.

The symmetrical northern elevation faces the estate driveway and includes a projecting entrance porch at the center, which features a pointed arched doorway at the eastern re-entrant angle. There are two gabled attic dormers with pointed arched windows, and an attached gate pier on the far left. The eastern and western gabled elevations have canted bay windows topped with corniced granite piended roofs. At the southern rear, there is a monopitched outshot with a doorway at the western re-entrant angle.

The windows are 4 and 2-pane sash and case timber windows, with pointed arched glazing bars on the upper sashes, along with some fixed pane windows featuring pointed arched glazing bars. The doors are boarded timber. The building has cast-iron rainwater goods, and the northern-facing roof is covered with fish scale and diamond pattern slates. The rear outshot has granite skews, and there are two shouldered corniced granite wallhead stacks at the rear, with some octagonal clay cans.

Inside, the lodge retains simple decorative elements, including 4-panel timber doors, a classical timber chimneypiece, and decorative plaster cornice work in the ground floor reception room. A timber staircase features a handrail, balusters, and newel posts with ball finials.

The gates and gatepiers consist of two free-standing bull-faced granite gate piers on tooled granite bases, with corniced capitals topped by tooled granite balls, and later 20th-century wrought-iron gates from the period between 1960 and 1980.
