Description
North Lodge at Balloch Castle is a single-storey, three-bay lodge built in the earlier to mid 19th century, designed in a Tudor style. The structure is made of rubble with harl-pointing, featuring stugged ashlar margins and dressings. Notable architectural elements include a base course, hoodmoulds, quoins, and slightly advanced eaves.
The south elevation has a gabled porch that is advanced at the center, featuring a basket-arched sunk-chamfered door. There are flanking windows, with the one on the left being broader. The east and west elevations each have large windows at the center of the gables, while the gablehead of the road elevation displays a blank roundel. A rear gabled wing is also present.
Currently, all windows are blocked with painted ventilated sheet metal. The roof is covered with grey slate and includes lead flashings, along with an off-set coped sandstone ridge stack.
Additionally, there are gatepiers and a boundary wall, which consist of square piers with deep square caps and a sandstone wall topped with semicircular coping.
