Description
Fawsyde House is a later 19th century, two-storey, five-bay house that incorporates earlier fabric. It has a symmetrical, rectangular plan with a gabled roof, rendered and painted exterior, and stone dressings. The building features chamfered arrises and a base course.
On the southeast, or principal elevation, there is a recessed single storey and attic central block with three bays, flanked by advanced single bay gables. The recess of the central block is spanned by a timber-columned seven-bay loggia on a stone balustrade, with a central bay that has a gable. The entrance features a Tudor arch doorpiece flanked by windows. The outer gables on the left and right have canted stone windows with slate roofs at the ground level, including Tudor arch middle lights, and Venetian windows on the first floor. There are garden walls adjoining to the left and right.
The southwest elevation has a four-bay design with regular fenestration in both floors, and the eaves are set back above the window on the outer left at the first floor.
The interior was not seen in 2000. The house features timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with timber barge boards, and three slate-hung gabled dormers above the loggia, including a Venetian arch gabletted dormer flanked by larger canted and gabled dormers. It also has cast-iron rainwater goods and ridge and gablehead stacks that are coped with octagonal cans.
The garden wall consists of stone with a coped balustrade and corniced square-plan gatepiers, designed similarly to the loggia balustrade, and it sweeps up and adjoins the house on the outer left and right at the southeast elevation.
