Description
3 Greenside in Leslie is a row of late 18th century, two-storey traditional dwellings that have undergone some alterations. The buildings feature chimney-headed gables and segmental-arched pends between numbers 6/7 and 10/11. The exterior is constructed from blocked and coursed whinstone with ashlar margins, some of which are droved, and there is an eaves course running from 1 to 11. The rear of the building is finished in pebble-dash.
The east elevation, which is the principal facade, shows a symmetrical arrangement for Nos 1 to 4, which is a 5-bay design. At the center, there is a door with a plate glass fanlight, flanked by windows, and regular windows on the first floor, with a central gable featuring a window. Nos 5 and 6 form a 4-bay layout with a door to the left of center, flanked by windows and a pend to the outer right; the first floor has regular windows with a window in the gable above the door. Nos 7 to 10 present a 5-bay design with a panelled door at the center, flanked by windows, regular windows on the first floor, both inner windows blinded, and a central gable with a window. Nos 11 and 12 have an irregular 4-bay layout, with a door to the right of center and a window nearby, another window to the right, a bipartite stone-mullioned window to the left, and an enlarged pend in the left outer bay. The first floor features bipartite stone-mullioned windows in the inner bays, a window to the outer right, a small bathroom window, and another window above the pend.
The sash and case windows in Nos 1 to 10 have a 12-pane glazing pattern, while Nos 11 and 12 feature a 6-pane upper and 2-pane lower glazing pattern. The roofs are covered with grey slates, and there are ashlar coped skews and cavetto coped stacks with ropework detailed scrolled skewputts at the eaves, plain scrolled skewputts at the gables, and the skewputts at No 2 are dated 1793.
