Moorlands, 113 Sinclair Street, Helensburgh

Moorlands is a villa located at 113 Sinclair Street in Helensburgh, dated 1873. It is a two-storey, three-bay building with a rectangular-plan conservatory attached to the east. The exterior is constructed of stugged and snecked cream sandstone, featuring ashlar dressings. Notable architectural elements include a base course, architraved windows with chamfered arrises, bracketted cills, and bracketted eaves.

The south elevation, which serves as the entrance, features a corniced and pilastered doorcase at the center with two-leaf panelled doors and a deep-set half-glazed fanlight. The vestibule door is tripartite with stained glass, and the porch is adorned with encaustic tiles. The frieze has shallow relief plasterwork (or Lincrusta) and a dentilled cornice. To the left, there is a slightly advanced corniced bipartite window, and to the right, a full-height canted window. At the first floor, there is a window in the center and a bipartite window to the outer left.

On the east side elevation, the conservatory is located to the left, with a window to the outer right and two windows at the first floor. The north rear elevation features a semi-circular arched stair-window at the center of the first floor, along with a lower two-storey wing adjoining to the outer right and a lower two-storey block adjoining to the outer left.

The villa primarily has plate glass sash and case windows. The roof is a grey slate piended platform with decorative brattishing, and there are ashlar corniced end stacks with original cans.

Inside, the villa boasts fine corniced ceilings in the hall and principal rooms, including the former drawing room on the first floor. There are early 20th century marble chimneypieces and Art Nouveau stained glass in the entrance door, the door to the conservatory, and a cabinet door in the dining room. The stair window features date and decorative etched glazing, and there is an iron balustered stone dog-leg stair with a timber handrail and carved newel. The conservatory is timber-framed, rectangular in plan, and barrel-vaulted, with a full-length raised lantern at the center and fixed small-pane glazing below the cornice and to the lantern.

Some original encaustic floor tiles remain inside the villa. The gatepiers are square-plan sandstone ashlar, corniced, with pyramidal caps.
