Description
Wood Gyle is a house from the earlier to mid 19th century, featuring a two-storey, three-bay rectangular plan with classical detailing. It includes a single-storey T-projection and various outbuildings. The building was formerly used as a United Presbyterian Manse. The southern elevation is made of squared and coursed whinstone, while the northern, eastern, and western sides are constructed from coursed and snecked whinstone rubble, showing signs of alteration on the northern side, with droved ashlar margins.
The southern elevation is symmetrical, featuring a pedimented stone doorpiece with windows in the flanking bays and regular bays at the first floor. The northern elevation, facing the road, has a piend-roofed projecting single-storey bay to the right of centre, with regular first-floor outer bays that include windows and a central stair window. The T-projection has an entrance at the centre of the eastern face, a window to the outer left, and a small lean-to roof over a door in the main block.
The main building has 12-pane glazing patterns in its sash and case windows, while other areas display a variety of glazing patterns. The roof is covered with graded grey slates and features a roof light in the northern pitch. The building has ashlar skews, coped wallhead stacks with thackstanes, and a complete set of moulded cans.
The gatepiers and boundary walls consist of pyramid-capped droved ashlar gatepiers with chamfered arrises located to the north of the site, accompanied by a pinned whinstone boundary wall on the left and random rubble on the right.
