South Lodge, Balloch Castle

South Lodge at Balloch Castle is an earlier to mid 19th century lodge that was remodelled in the early 20th century. It is a single-storey, rectangular-plan building constructed from bull-rock-faced rubble with droved sandstone dressings. The lodge features a base course, an eaves band, advanced eaves, and exposed rafters.

On the south elevation, there is a droved gabled porch at the centre, which has a Tudor arch, blind arrowslits, and a blank plaque in the gablehead. The modern door is also a Tudor arch on the returns. Flanking the porch are bipartite windows that are grouped towards the centre, with concrete cills.

The east and west elevations are rendered, with a gable breaking the eaves at the centre and a coped gablehead stack, which includes a lozenge in the gablehead.

The lodge has modern uPVC windows with a 4-pane design. The roof is covered with grey slate, featuring red terracotta ridging and cresting.

In addition, there are two pairs of Tudoresque gatepiers at the entrance, with a central main gate flanked by pedestrian gates. These gatepiers are octagonal ashlar with a blind arrowslit, a skirted base, and a moulded cap. The boundary walls are rock-faced quadrant walls with moulded coping, and there is an outer square pier.
