Woodside Lodge With Stable Block

Woodside Lodge with stable block is a house, originally a lodge and stables for Woodside, built between 1879 and 1880 by C.J. Ferguson for Rev James Losh. The building is constructed of dressed calciferous sandstone to the ground floor, with half-timbered cladding on the first floor. It has a graduated green slate roof and a rusticated ashlar chimney stack, featuring decorative ridge tiles. The U-shaped buildings have been combined into a single house.

The lodge portion is two storeys and two bays wide. The first-floor gable, which projects, forms an entrance porch supported by shaped wooden columns, the lower sections of which are filled with turned wooden balusters. The first-floor timber framing displays squared and herringbone decorative patterns, set within stucco. Decorated bargeboards and pinnacles are found at each gable end. The entrance is framed by moulded ashlar, featuring a pointed-head arch with a mullioned fanlight and leaded lights. A 20th-century glazed door is present. A wooden mullioned and transomed window with leaded lights is on the first floor. A projecting segmental bay window, with curved mullioned and transomed windows and leaded lights, is located on the left side.

The single-storey stable block is built with similar stonework and roofing materials. The stable openings are now filled with 20th-century casements with glazing bars, while other windows are also 20th-century in style. A drawing of Woodside can be found in Building News, 11 July 1879.
