Inversnaid

Inversnaid is a suburban villa built in the mid-19th century, likely designed by Henry Rice. The building features stucco on masonry, with prominent giant pilasters that have an incised key pattern and plat bands. It has a rag slate hipped roof in an L-plan shape, complete with a moulded cornice beneath deep eaves and cast-iron ogee gutters. The villa has an L-shaped layout with a canted entrance porch at the inner angle. It stands two storeys tall, and the garden front at the inner angle has a three-window, one:one:one bay arrangement. The central entrance porch, which dates from the late 19th century, is slate-roofed and features margin panes that rise to ogee tracery above round-headed lights. The windows are primarily original hornless sashes with glazing bars, except for a late 19th-century canted bay on the ground floor to the right. The ground floor has recessed panels with round fanlight heads, while the first floor features 12-pane sashes within eared architraves. The interior has not been inspected but is expected to be of interest.
