Slateford

Slateford is a two-storey house built in 1863, featuring three bays and Tudor architectural details. The front elevation is constructed from grey-brown sandstone rubble, laid in a coursed and snecked pattern, while the sides and rear are finished in random rubble. The dressings are broached and droved in ashlar, with flush surfaces except for raised sills on the gable and rear.

The south (front) elevation has three bays, with the central bay advanced and featuring a deep chamfer and corbel beneath the eaves. The central door is four-panelled and topped with a letterbox fanlight, framed by a droved chamfered ashlar surround and hoodmoulding. Above, the first floor breaks the eaves within a tympan gable, featuring a central window and moulded skews with skewputts, topped by a small stack. To the east of the central bay is a tripartite window with hoodmoulding, while to the west is a projecting bay window with a flat roof, cornice, and blocking course. The first floor has two flanking windows that break the eaves, set within gabled dormerheads adorned with moulded skews and skewputts, and decorated with trefoil carvings.

On the north (rear) elevation, there is an off-centre gabled outshot to the east that projects at a right angle. This single-storey section has a loft and features one window to the west, one large and one small window to the east, and one window in the gable for the loft. A lean-to structure adjoins the west side, piended, and incorporates one window and a rear door, framed and lined with a tripartite fanlight. The first floor has one narrow window and two windows that break the eaves, symmetrically placed towards the gables, also in gabled dormerheads with moulded skews and skewputts.

The east and west gables each have two windows on the ground floor, oriented towards the rear. There are sheds or kennels attached to the west gable, which have four doors and have been significantly altered.

The windows throughout the house are timber sash and case, with four panes on the front and main gables, while narrower windows have two panes. The rear features a variety of window styles, including 12-pane, 9-pane, 8-pane, and small 4-pane configurations. A six-pane iron stairlight is located on the rear roofslope. The roof is covered in graded grey Scotch slate, with coped ashlar stacks and original octagonal decorative cans.
