Summary

Description

David Hamilton, circa 1834 with circa 1905 and later 20th century additions. Single storey, irregular-plan gate lodge with shouldered, stone-finialed gables, canted bay window, advanced porch, and decorative stonework. Squared, coursed, stugged sandstone with polished ashlar dressings; random rubble to circa 1905 extension; rendered later 20th century addition. Base course, eaves course, eaves cornice. Raised quoin strips; long and short quoins to 1905 addition; raised, roll-moulded window margins.

NW (FRONT) ELEVATION: 4 bays. Timber panelled front door to right with simple raised architrave and strapwork detail above, in advanced porch with finialed gable and buckle quoins; 2 windows to centre (one blind); advanced gabled bay to left with strapwork detailing above window; blind wall to left (NE) return.

OTHER ELEVATIONS: piended-roofed, 3-light, canted window to left of SW (side) elevation; single window to right. Advanced gable to SE (rear) elevation with strapwork detail above window; piend-roofed later 20th century addition recessed to right with glazed back door.

Predominantly plate glass in timber sash and case windows. Ashlar-coped skews. Graded grey slate.

BOUNDARY WALLS, GATEPIERS AND RAILINGS: saddle-coped low random rubble quadrant boundary walls with cast-iron spear-headed railings above. Octagonal sandstone ashlar gatepiers with panelled capitals and conical caps.

Statement of Special Interest

A-Group with Dunlop House and Bridge. Built as the main Gate Lodge for Dunlop House, presumably by the architect of the house, David Hamilton. The Jacobethan strapwork detailing echoes the more elaborate stonework of the house. The strapwork on the original part of the lodge appears to be contemporary with it, but that over the window of the circa 1905 addition looks much older, and has probably come from another building ' possibly the previous Dunlop House. The central stack has unfortunately been removed, but is shown in an old photo in 'Old Stewarton, Dunlop and Lugton'.

About Listed Buildings

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
