Pair of lodges, now disused, probably built in 1809 and 1858. The lodges present an entrance to the long driveway leading to Auchernach House (NJ31NW0006). The north lodge is a single-storey with attic and raised basement, three-bay, rectangular-plan cottage with a broad-eaved piend roof and dominant centre stacks with three diamond-aligned shafts. The south lodge is a two-storey and raised basement, three-bay, rectangular-plan cottage dated 1858, with stone-pedimented windowheads breaking the eaves and diamond-aligned stacks. They are constructed from large blocks of squared rubble with Aberdeen bond pinnings and with harl to the sides and rear of the south lodge. Largely 12-pane glazing pattern is used in timber sash and case windows, with an 8-lying-pane glazing pattern in timber casement windows to the first floor windows of the south lodge. Graded grey slate roofs have coped ashlar stacks, with ashlar-coped skews with block skewputts to the south lodge. Both buildings have centre door symmetrical entrance elevations, with that to the south having a later porch and a tall narrow stair window to the centre at the rear.
