Leewood, 186, 188 Princes Street West, Helensburgh

Leewood is a mid-19th century single storey and attic villa located at 186-188 Princes Street West in Helensburgh. The building features a three-bay gabled design, constructed from snecked pink sandstone rubble, with stugged, squared, and snecked cream sandstone used for the entrance elevation, complemented by ashlar dressings. It has a base course, architraved basket-arched windows at the ground floor, and round-arched windows at the first floor. The gables are adorned with bargeboards and quoin strips.

The south elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a gabled ashlar porch that projects at the center. This porch features a four-centred arched doorway with two-leaf panelled doors, a plate glass fanlight, and a half-glazed vestibule door. The reveals are moulded, and there is a hoodmould above the doorway. The angles of the porch have stop-chamfered arrises, and a small ashlar armorial plaque is located at the gablehead. The decorative bargeboard includes a broken finial at the apex. To the right of the porch, there is a window with a consoled cornice that supports a window guard for a canted dormer above, which has a round-arched window with a gablet. A small semi-circular dormer window is positioned to the left. The outer left side has a slightly advanced, taller gable bay with a canted window featuring a pierced ashlar parapet and a bipartite window above, also with a decorative bargeboard.

On the west elevation, there is a window at the ground level to the outer left. The north elevation has modern single and two-storey additions at the rear. The villa primarily features plate glass sash and case windows, and the roof is covered with grey slate, with coped sandstone and rendered end stacks that have moulded cans.

The boundary wall surrounding the property is a low ashlar wall with saddleback coping, complemented by square plan piers that have stop-chamfered angles and low pyramidal caps.
