Statement of Interest

Part of a B-Group comprising 'Drygrange House (Grangehall Care Home, Formerly St Andrew's College) Including Garden Terrace Walls to South'; 'Drygrange, Walled Garden'; ' Drygrange, North Lodge Including Gates, Gatepiers and Quadrant Walls'; 'Drygrange, South Lodge Including Gates, Gatepiers and Quadrant Walls'; 'Drygrange, House to North of Steading'; 'Drygrange, Stables and Steading' and 'Drygrange, Summerhouse'.

Located at the northen entrance to the former Drygrange House estate, the North Lodge is a comparatively large and well detailed example of its type of red sandstone, notable for its broad overhanging timber bargeboarding and porch. Originally the porch was open with timber supporting columns, later enclosed making use of non-traditional single-pane glazing. The house was formerly occupied by the factor of the estate, adding to its historical interest. A later, non-traditional corrugated-roofed garage addition has been made to the W gable (road) elevation. The obelisk gatepier finials and wrought-iron gates of 1906 are contemporaneous with the South Lodge and with the main gate of the walled garden (see separate listings), adding to the wider contextual interest of the Drygrange estate.
