Description
Southside is a house dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the late 19th and 20th centuries. It is built from coursed rubble limestone with a semi-dressed front and has a 20th-century artificial slate roof. The house features flanking rendered chimneys with moulded cornices and consists of a single range with a projecting stair turret at the center rear, along with later extensions at the rear angles.
The building is two storeys high, with a cellar and attic, and has five bays. It has a projecting plinth, a first floor band course, and late 19th-century bracketed wooden eaves. The windows are wooden cross casements, which were renewed in the late 19th century, and feature late 19th-century wooden hoodmoulds in a Tudor style. There are also two-light cellar windows, with the one on the left having a chamfered stone mullion. The house includes two gabled roof dormers with 20th-century two-light wooden casements.
The central door has six flush panels, a rectangular fanlight with a central mullion, and a substantial wooden frame. There is a late 19th-century gabled stone porch with cusped bargeboards and a wooden Tudor hoodmould over the entrance. The left gable end features two single oval lights in rectangular stone surrounds on each floor, positioned on either side of the chimney flue. The rear of the house has old cross casements in the stair turret and right bay, above 20th-century brick and render extensions, and a stone extension projecting to the left with an early 19th-century brick upper storey. Inside, there is a fine 17th-century staircase with heavy turned balusters.
