Lodge, still in use, built in 1854. It is a single-storey and attic, picturesque gabled lodge heralding one of the approaches to Balmoral Castle (NO29NE0023). The lodge is constructed from stugged, squared and coursed granite with a base course. The attic floor is slightly jettied on a corbel course and there are timber mullions. The graded grey slate roof has overhanging eaves with decorative timber brackets, scrolled barge boards with kingposts, pendant angles to the front block, a rooflight to the rear and coped stone stacks. There is a gabled stone porch at the centre of the west elevation with stop-chamfered arrises, a panelled door and fanlight, small windows on the returns and flanking bipartite windows. The south elevation has two blind arrowslits at the ground and a bipartite in the attic. Single-storey, piend-roofed service buildings to the rear are advanced and clasping the corner to the east, and has a small bipartite window. The north elevation has a rectangular projecting tripartite window at the ground and a bipartite to the attic. The recessed service block to the east has two narrow windows. The east elevation has a gabled wing to the north, joined by a piend-roofed rear entrance block recessed to the centre and south. Battered, bull-faced square section, corniced squat gatepiers flank the drive, and there are coursed, bull-faced granite quadrant walls with ashlar coping.
