Description

11 Morningside Place is a villa built around 1825, featuring two storeys and a three-bay rectangular plan, along with single-storey pavilions. The building is constructed from grey sandstone, with a stugged ashlar front and polished dressings, while the rear and sides are made of squared and snecked stugged rubble. It has a base course, a band course above the ground floor, a cill band course at the first floor, and an eaves cornice with a blocking course.

The south (front) elevation has a pilastered and corniced doorway at the center, which includes a deep-set panelled door and a rectangular plate glass fanlight above it. There is a single window at the first floor above the entrance, and the outer bays feature single windows on both the ground and first floors. The single-storey corniced pavilions on either side each have a single window, with a lean-to glazed addition on the east pavilion.

On the north (rear) elevation, there is a narrow bipartite window on the ground floor of the center bay and a single window above it at the first floor. The outer bays also have single windows on both floors, and there is a later lean-to addition on the right wing.

The west elevation includes a single-storey wing with an M-piend roof, a stair window in the center with leaded lights, and a single window to the right at the first floor, along with a short wallhead stack in the center. The east elevation mirrors the west elevation.

The villa features timber sash and case windows, with 4-pane glazing on the front and small-pane windows on the rear. The roof is a combination of piend and platform slate with metal flashings, and there are two wallhead stacks.

The interior was not seen in 1992. The property is enclosed by boundary walls and gatepiers, which include a tall rubble wall to the rear and sides with semi-circular coping, a low wall to the front with saddleback coping, and two tall coped stugged ashlar gatepiers with cut-away arrises.
