Details Gate lodge, still in use, built in the later 19th century with later additions. It is a three-bay, single-storey and attic, symmetrical building with a centre rustic-columned entrance porch flanked by four-pane sash and case windows at ground. There is Aberdeen-bond black granite to the front elevation with sandstone dressings, and it is rendered at the side elevations and at a slate-roofed lean-to addition to the rear. The pitched roof of the porch breaks the eaves at the centre, and there are two dormer windows with six-pane sash and case glazing in the steep-pitched slated roof, which has overhanging bracketted eaves, as at the porch and end stacks. There are single ground-floor windows to the rear in each gable end. Square-plan gatepiers have ball finials at the curved boundary walls, which are rubble-built and crenellated with rubble copings. They support elaborate wrought-iron gates from circa 1900 with the monogram 'CENLH', for Charles Edward Norman Hay-Leith. The gates are two-leaf at the centre, with two pedestrian gates flanking. The gates and gatepiers are identical to those at the East Lodge (NJ52NW0133). A small ER round-headed post-box is attached to one of the gates.
