Moorepark House, Brooks Road, Cardross

Moorepark House is a semi-detached villa built in 1892, featuring a two-storey asymmetrical rectangular plan. The exterior is constructed from red sandstone with polished stone margins and dressings, and includes half-timbered details and chamfered reveals.

The northwest elevation, which serves as the entrance, has three bays and a round tower bastion on the southwest side. The entrance door is located in the outer left bay and is sheltered by a tiled canopy supported by wooden brackets. This door is half-glazed, and there are three small windows directly below the eaves with stone mullions. The central bay is broad and gabled, advanced from the rest of the façade, and features a two-storey structure over a raised basement. The ground floor has a canted design with five stone mullioned windows, while the first floor showcases mock half-timbering and a shallow canted oriel window at the centre. The gable is slightly advanced and adorned with a decorative bargeboard and a wooden griffin at the top. To the right, there is a single window at the ground floor and a tripartite window above it on the first floor. The round tower on the outer right has a crenellated parapet and features a two-storey design with a battered basement, a stone corbelled balcony at the principal floor, a cast-iron balustrade, and a cornice with waterspout projections.

On the southwest elevation, the round tower is on the left, with a blank bay to the outer right. A string course divides the floors, and there is a plaque at the second level. The northeast elevation includes a gable on the outer right and a full-height canted window, with a bay on the outer left. The southeast elevation connects to an earlier house, Moorpark Cottage, at the centre rear and features a gabled, half-timbered oriel on the outer left and a tall wallhead stack.

The windows are plate glass timber sash and case, with leaded upper panes in the oriels, and there is a two-pane cast-iron rooflight. The roof is covered with grey slate and has terracotta ridging, along with tall coped wallhead stacks.
