Description
Fernbank is a villa-style cottage located at 40 Main Street in Ratho, built around 1860. It is a single-storey and attic structure with three bays, constructed from coursed whinstone, featuring stugged sandstone margins and raised quoins that are now painted. The side elevation is made of sandstone rubble, and the building has a base course and an eaves band.
The main elevation has a deep-set door at the center, framed by a doorcase with slender pilasters and consoles that support a triangular dentillated pediment, which extends beyond the eaves. On either side of the door are full-height canted windows with blocking courses. The building also features canted, half-pied dormers located behind the bay windows.
On the left side elevation, there is a gabled section with a blocked window at the attic level. The windows throughout the building are plate glass sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate and has ashlar coping at the skew, along with a square, corniced apex stack.
Surrounding the property is a low boundary wall made of whinstone, topped with ashlar slab coping.
