Description

Wellside is an 18th-century, two-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan house located at 45 Main Street in Aberdour. The exterior features harled walls with painted stone surrounds around the openings.

The southeast elevation is nearly symmetrical, showcasing a central door with a slim letterbox fanlight and flanking bipartite windows. The first-floor windows are positioned directly above the openings below, close to the eaves.

The northeast elevation presents a plain gable wall, with evidence of an adjoining building to the left and at the level between the floors.

The northwest elevation is partially visible and has been altered, featuring a modern extension added to the ground floor in the late 20th century. There is a door at the center of the first floor, with a modern window to the left.

The southwest elevation includes the remaining wall of a single-storey building that adjoins at the right-hand corner. It shows remnants of a pitched roofline to the left and further remains of a former building at the level between the floors, with a window at the far left on the first floor.

The house has a modern timber door and lower two-pane windows with upper six-pane windows on the southeast ground floor, while the rest of the windows are modern. The roof is pitched and covered with grey slates. The southwest elevation features an ashlar coped skew to the right gable and a crowstepped gable to the left, with a gable apex stack on the southwest and an enlarged gable apex stack on the northeast, both with clay cans and thackstanes. The remaining wall of the single-storey building to the southwest has an ashlar coped skew with a beaked skewput.
