The Lodge is a good example of a late 18th century village cottage with simple proportions and detailed stonework surviving in largely unaltered condition to the exterior. The later 2-storey gabled extension to the rear makes and interesting and unusual contribution to the streetscape of the run of cottages that make up the centre of this village.

The Lodge was altered to its current form in 1870 by joining 2 former cottages and creating a large extension to the rear in order to provide a shooting lodge for the estate which had no mansion house following a fire in 1773. The inscription AJ & EM 1870 over the door is believed to be the initials of the McQueen Laird at that time. This inscription also appears on Dumra Cottage at the far end of the run. The 3 bays to the far left were formerly a separate cottage with former entrance doorway to centre now a window. A gun rack still survives to the inside of the front door.

Broughton Village was developed as an estate village to the former Broughton House and owned by the Lairds of the Barony of Broughton until 1921 at which point it was put up for public sale. The Symington, Broughton and Biggar Railway was opened in 1860 allowing business men to travel daily to Glasgow and Edinburgh resulting in an expansion of the village with new villas being built although the main street has retained its distinct early 19th century form.

Formerly listed as part of a long run of cottages, 'Broughton Village, 7 Cottages, Broughton Green House, Etc (See Paper List for Full Details)' List description updated and category changed from B to C(S) in 2011 following reassessment of the street.
