Description

Viewforth is an earlier 19th century, symmetrical, two-storey house with a basement and a square plan, located at 3 Brucehaven Road in Limekilns. The building is constructed from coursed yellow sandstone blocks, featuring raised, droved grey stone dressings around the openings, eaves course, gable wallheads, and vertical margins at the quoins. The gable elevations and the rear of the house are harled.

On the southwest (entrance) elevation, there are steps leading up to a central entrance door, which is a replacement panelled door with a fanlight above. This door is framed by a pilastered ashlar doorpiece topped with a cornice. Flanking the entrance are windows, and to the right, steps lead up to another replacement glazed door on the ground floor. Above the front door and ground floor windows, there are three first-floor windows centered on the façade. To the right of the front door, steps descend to the basement, which has a central door flanked by windows. A decorative metal handrail runs alongside the entrance steps and continues as plain railings in front of the house, meeting the windows.

The northwest elevation features a first-floor window to the right. The northeast elevation has a central mid-floor stair window and a first-floor window to the left, along with a modern piended kitchen addition at the rear left. The southeast elevation is a plain gable.

The house has 12-pane timber sash and case windows with horns, and there is a small central rooflight at the rear. The roof is pitched and covered with slate, featuring raised skews, corniced gable apex stacks, and polygonal clay cans.

The garden is enclosed by a rubble wall with rounded coping stones that runs from the left and right of the southwest elevation, creating a long linear garden.
