Detached three-bay single-storey with part basement gate lodge to Fortgranite House, built c.1840. The lodge is a highly individual picturesque composition, being roughly square in plan but with a canted breakfront and a hipped roof with prominent overhang. The walls are largely finished in roughcast with granite quoins and dressings to the openings and a basement level of rubble. The roof is slated and has decorative fascia, boxed-in eaves and a rendered chimneystack. The entrance consists of a shallow ogee-headed timber door set in a splayed reveal with similar head. The window openings are flat-headed and filled with timber casement frames with pointed arch-headed lights. The gate lodge is set next to the roadside at the head of the western drive to Fortgranite House and is surrounded by a garden. To the west is a gate screen with low rendered quadrant walls and simple wrought-iron railings and carriage gates.
