Full Description
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.
