Description
Wayside is a semi-detached cottage dating from the mid-19th century, possibly incorporating an earlier dwelling. It is constructed of red sandstone random rubble and features triple ridge tiles. The roof extends over the right gable end to cover a verandah, which has decorative barge boards. The plan of the cottage is not clear without an internal inspection, but it is likely a three-cell layout.
The building has one and a half storeys, with gabled 3-light dormers that also have decorative bargeboards. On the ground floor, there are three 2-light 20th-century casement windows, and the entrance is located on the right return with a central 20th-century door. The full-height verandah has three bays, with diagonally boarded timber gable infill and a centre that breaks forward. It features splat balusters and has been partly renewed in rubble on the left return, supported by shaped brackets at the ground floor. There is a single-storey, one-bay addition on the right.
The garden is enclosed by a random rubble wall with random rubble coping that returns around the garden. The style of the verandah is similar to the more ornate one at Cloutsham Farm, which is also part of the Acland Estate.
