Lodge, Preston House, Preston Road, Linlithgow

The Lodge at Preston House, located on Preston Road in Linlithgow, is attributed to architect David Bryce and dates from around 1844. This single-storey, asymmetrical Tudor-style building features a gabled design and is constructed from squared and coursed cream sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings. Notable architectural details include a base course, architraved windows, overhanging eaves, bargeboards, and kingposts.

The north elevation, which serves as the entrance, has two bays. The outer right bay features a gable with a roll-moulded and lugged architraved doorpiece, leading to a boarded door adorned with decorative cast-iron hinges. Above the doorpiece is a moulded stone panel, which includes an armorial shield panel. To the left, there is a canted and gabled window with chamfered angles that sweep to a square at the eaves, containing 1-2-1 lights with panelled aprons.

The east side elevation includes a gabled return with a tripartite window that has a hoodmould. The south rear elevation has modern additions.

The roof is covered with grey slate and features tall, corniced, and coped paired stacks. The property is complemented by gatepiers, which consist of four simple rendered tapering piers with chamfered angles, along with two corniced ashlar outer piers. Decorative wrought-iron gates are present for both pedestrian and carriage access.
