Description

The Main Lodge at Tullichewan Castle, designed by Robert Lugar in the early 19th century, is a single-storey Tudor-Gothic lodge with a rectangular plan. It features an ashlar construction with a battered base course, a blocking course, and roll-moulded surrounds.

On the north elevation, there are three bays, including a broad crenellated gabled bay on the outer left and a canted window that is advanced at the center. Above, there are bipartite arrowslit windows. A battlemented parapet porch is located in the re-entrant angle to the right, which has a shaped parapet raised for a blank plaque at the center. The porch contains a Tudor-arched door with a roll-moulded surround, a flush-panelled door, and a Y-tracery fanlight, with a stop-chamfered arris to the right. A window is set in the center of the bay, recessed to the outer right.

The west elevation features a bipartite window at the center, while the east elevation has a single window at the center. There is a later lean-to addition at the rear. The lodge has uPVC windows, a grey slate roof with lead flashings, broad corniced ridge stacks, and tall circular chimney cans.

The interior was not seen in 1995.

The boundary wall includes gabletted gothic gatepiers topped with battered finials, flanking pedestrian gates, sturdy Tudor piers, and blind arrowslits with coped octagonal tops. The squared sandstone wall has gabletted buttresses at regular intervals and gabletted coping. The original gate in the pedestrian opening to the left is a decorative wrought-iron gate, while the remaining gates are modern cast-iron.
