Weir House

Weir House is a house built in the early 19th century, with later extensions added in the 19th and 20th centuries to the north. The exterior features colourwashed stucco and roughcast, topped with low-pitched, hipped slate roofs over the main house and tiled roofs to the north. The building is set into a sloping site, oriented east-west, with two storeys and a basement on the entrance front to the west, and two storeys and an attic on the east front facing the river.

The roof includes rendered stacks at the centre, left, and left end, and has deep bracketed eaves. The entrance front has a curved bow to the right, featuring a 6-pane curved sash window on the first floor and a blocked window below on the ground floor. There is a three-light leaded casement window in the basement. To the left on the first floor, there is a 6-pane sash window with double casement doors below, topped by stained glass in pointed-arch over-lights. A fine wooden porch with trellis-work and a ribbed square-domed ogee roof adds character, along with lattice work panels and a Greek key band over the front. The entrance has deep coved detailing and hollow chamfers at the angles.

To the left, a hip-roofed range includes three casement windows on the ground floor and two 12-pane sash windows above. The right-hand return front features a bowed bay that rises to full height on the right, with a curved 6-pane attic sash and curved casement doors below on the first floor, leading to an elegant first-floor balcony with an ogee tent roof and a Greek key pattern frieze. The centre bay is wider, adorned with lattice patterns on the standards and plain balcony railings. There is one attic sash and one 12-pane first-floor sash to the left.

A tent-roofed verandah spans the entire ground floor, with a part-glazed roof to the left, supported by similar standards and featuring casement doors behind. The verandah continues on the right across the east front, facing the river, with four bays. It includes casement doors on the ground floor, two blocked and two open first-floor sashes, and three windows with one blocked window in the attic storey above. Inside, there is a 19th-century staircase with a trellis balustrade.
