Details North and South lodges and main entrance to Cullen House (NJ56NW0003). Attributed to James Adam and date to 1767, with later additions to lodges. Pedimented polished ashlar triumphal arched entrance way supported by fluted Roman Ionic columns linked to flanking gate lodges by simple harled screen walls pierced by single pedestrian entrances each side. Central round-headed archway with corniced fluted impost blocks, moulded arch ring and with patter in each spandrel. Entablature with festooned and swagged frieze. Earl's coronet with ‘S’ (Seafield) in tympanum of pediment surmounted by lion rampant with single recumbent lion on each outer edge. Bracketed corniced pedestrian entrances with moulded and acanthus detailed jambs. Corniced blocking course to screen wall, raised and swagged above pedestrian entrances. There is a pair of spearheaded cast-iron carriage gates with Greek key pattern band and scallop decoration. Matching single gates close pedestrian entrances. The flanking lodges are advanced single storey, 3-bay gate lodges, each with centre doorway on south side of linking screen wall, each lodge with later rear additions and each with later dormerheads breaking wallhead. Harled, ashlar margins and dressings. Deep corniced eaves band broken by later piended dormers. Coped ridge and wallhead stacks (some later wallhead stacks in brick), slightly bellcast slate roof.
