Glenfalloch Lodge Including Stable, Inverarnan

Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park Planning Authority

Probably dating from the earlier to mid 19th century, Glenfalloch Lodge is a large 3-bay 2-storey and attic stone L-plan house with a substantial lower 2-storey wing to the rear. It is a simple house which retains much of its architectural character, including a traditional glazing pattern - an increasing rarity in the area. Part of the history of the local area, Glenfalloch Lodge is the estate house for Glen Falloch Estate, at one time a Breadalbane property. Unusually for the area, the house retains all its stacks and polygonal cans.

The principal (East) elevation is predominantly symmetrical and has a central pitched roof projecting stone porch with a chamfered opening. There is a 6-panel 2-leaf timber door with a simple 5-pane rectangular fanlight above. Above are a pair of tripartite dormers. The South gable is rendered and blank save for an attic window. The North elevation is treated rationally and consists of a 2-bay gabled section to the left and the recessed lower 2-storey rear wing to the right with 3 bays of evenly spaced windows.

There are large corniced gable stacks and a ridge stack to the rear wing all with polygonal clay cans.
