Architecture and continuing use
The house is two storeys with an attic and a three-window principal front. A slated roof, granite ashlar and timber entrance portico provide the main formal elements, with a lower addition extending one end.
Its story
Kintore Lodge belongs to the period when refined granite houses appeared around the growing burgh. The brief national record contains an evident typographical date, so the building is described cautiously as probably dating from about 1800 rather than repeating it literally.
Why it is included
Category B listing recognises a well-proportioned small house whose materials and classical restraint contribute to Kintore’s early nineteenth-century domestic landscape.
What to notice
- The three-window symmetry of the main elevation.
- The timber portico against granite ashlar.
- The transition from the principal block to the lower addition.
Reading the surroundings
View only from lawful public routes and respect privacy. Do not enter the drive, garden or associated buildings, and do not photograph occupants or private domestic activity.
