Southside Farmhouse

Southside Farmhouse is a house dating from the 18th century, which incorporates earlier elements and was altered and enlarged in the early 19th century. The front of the older section is rendered, except for the porch, which is made of close-jointed squared stone. The right side features large, roughly-coursed stone, while the rear is constructed of rubble. The 19th-century part is made of roughly-tooled stone with tooled-and-margined quoins and dressings. The roof is covered with Welsh slate and has two stacks that have been rebuilt in grey brick.

On the south elevation, the main part of the house is two storeys high and has three bays, arranged symmetrically, with a two-bay extension added on the left in the 19th century. The central flat-topped porch features a six-panel door set in a raised stone surround, with a band below the chamfered parapet coping, and a six-pane sash window on each side. The windows are four-pane sashes, also in raised stone surrounds. The gables are coped, with a stepped-and-corniced stack on the left end and a rebuilt stack on the right end. The extension has a two-storey right bay with twelve-pane sashes in raised stone surrounds and a coped left gable with a rebuilt stack on an old base. The left bay is one storey high and has a four-pane sash in a similar surround, along with a coped left gable.

The right return of the main part shows two four-pane sashes on each floor and a projecting pent-roofed rear porch. There is a boarded door on the left return and a six-pane casement on the right. The rear elevation features two renewed doors in old openings, a tall stair window with renewed small-paned glazing above a blocked mullioned window, and several twelve-pane sashes, mostly in 19th-century alternating-block surrounds. A single-storey section on the far right has a tripartite sash.

Inside, there is an old half-glazed door leading to the front porch. The curving staircase has oval-section balusters, some of which are cast iron, a fluted newel, a wreathed and moulded handrail, and a curtail step with tread ends carved in a fleur-de-lys pattern.
