Lodge, still in use, dated 1878 and set in the south-west of the designed landscape around Haddo House (NJ83SE0076). It is a single-storey and attic, L-plan lodge of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings. There are ball finialled crowstepped gables with hoodmoulded two-light windows, an eaves string carried across the face of the gables and keyblocked circular attic lights. A round-arched open porch with a plain parapet is set diagonally in the re-entrant angle and linked to a two-light rectangular bay with a tall crest panel at the centre of the parapet, extruded diagonally from the left-hand gable. The slated roof has a central ashlar stack and a neat modern dormer in the re-entrant angle and a low back porch has a crowstepped gable. The gateway has dwarf gatepiers, square-plan battered monoliths with echinus capitals and ball finials on low truncated pyramid capping and original timber footgates. The dwarf convex wing walls have spear-headed railings.
