Description
Wetherhill House is a two-storey building with a basement, built in 1865 by A and W Reid. It was originally a Church of Scotland Manse and features a three-bay design. The exterior is constructed from squared coursed and pinned whinstone rubble with sandstone dressings, including raised ashlar margins, margined quoins, a band course, and an eaves course. The basement, sides, and rear are harled.
On the southeast elevation, a flight of seven steps with a cast-iron balustrade leads to a deep-set six-panelled door at the center, which is framed by a pilastered and corniced doorpiece and topped with a letterbox fanlight. There are windows flanking the door at ground level, and three additional windows at the first floor situated close under the eaves. A low ashlar coped retaining wall with railings surrounds the basement, which has four windows.
The northwest elevation is asymmetrical, featuring two doors and two windows at the basement level, three windows at ground level, and four openings at the first floor, with the center stair window being lengthened. Each gable end has a window at ground level. The windows throughout are sash and case with a four-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates and features ashlar coped skews with gablet skewputts, as well as corniced ashlar stacks with decorative cans. There are three small skylights on the roof.
