Description

Myreside is a two-storey house built around 1860, featuring three bays and Tudor architectural details. The front elevation is constructed from red sandstone rubble, which is coursed and snecked, while the sides and rear are finished in random rubble. The dressings are in ashlar and flush, except for the raised sills.

The front elevation has three symmetrical bays, with the central bay advanced and featuring a deep chamfer and a corbel below the eaves. The central entrance door is a four-panelled design with a plain fanlight, surrounded by a droved chamfered ashlar frame and hoodmoulding. Above the door, the first floor breaks the eaves in a tympan gable, with a central window that has a hoodmoulding, moulded skews, and skewputts, topped by a small stack. The central bay is flanked by two tripartite bay windows, which have droved ashlar mullions and lintels, flat roofs, cornices, and blocking courses. There are two first-floor windows above these bays, breaking the eaves in gabled dormerheads with moulded skews and skewputts.

The rear elevation features an off-centred gabled outshot to the south that projects at a right angle. This single-storey section has a loft, with one window to the north and an enlarged window serving as a glazed door to the south. There are also windows at both ground and loft levels on the gable. A lean-to adjoins the north side, incorporating two windows and a rear door, framed and lined with a letterbox fanlight. On the first floor, there are three windows, two of which break the eaves symmetrically towards the gables in gabled dormerheads with moulded skews and skewputts.

The north and south gable elevations each have one window on the ground floor, positioned towards the rear. All windows are timber sash and case, with four panes on the front and main gables, and twelve panes on the rear. There is also a three-paned iron stair light on the rear roofslope. The roof is covered in graded grey Scotch slate, with coped ashlar stacks that are symmetrical and have plain cans.

Additionally, there is an outbuilding that was likely originally a stable, connected to the main house by a high rubble wall featuring a semi-circular cope and doorway. The outbuilding has a piended slate roof, with a door and window on the south elevation and two windows on the north elevation.
