Predominantly 12-pane glazing to timber sash and case windows. Grey slate. Stepped cope to stack; octagonal clay cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods.
Part of a B-Group comprising: Ravenswood House; Ravenswood, Stables; Ravenswood, North Lodge Including Gates and Railings; Ravenswood, South Lodge; Ravenswood, Summerhouse.
A diminuitive, early 19th century estate lodge of simple proportions and unadorned character. The castellated porch, tall stack and stepped gables probably equate it to the 1st phase of construction at Ravenswood House in 1824. John and Thomas Smith began Ravenswood House (see separate listing) for Major John Scott in 1824 in the castellated Neo-Tudor style.
The early 20th century addition to the rear of the lodge makes use of materials that are sympathetic to the contruction of the earlier lodge, and it makes good use of the site, sloping down to the Bogle Burn. The simple form of the principal elevation of the lodge remains substantially uncompromised by the additions.
