Flowerhill Manse, 31 Victoria Place, Airdrie

Flowerhill Manse, located at 31 Victoria Place in Airdrie, is an Italianate villa built in 1889. This two-storey, three-bay building features a rectangular plan with barge boarded overhanging eaves that have exposed rafters. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked sandstone with ashlar margins, and includes a base course and a continuous eaves height course. The stone mullioned windows have flat-arched openings on the ground floor and round-arched openings on the first floor, with corbelled projecting cills and shouldered architraves. The decorative bargeboards are detailed with fretwork.

On the principal (south) elevation, there are steps leading to a panelled door at the centre, topped with a letterbox fanlight. To the left is a three-light window with a consoled canopy, and to the right is an advanced three-light canted bay with a moulded parapet. The central first-floor oculi is blocked, while a large semicircular-arched window to the left leads to a gablet dormer that breaks the eaves. To the right, there is a three-light semicircular-arched window featuring Doric colonettes as mullions and moulded voussoirs.

The north (rear) elevation has irregular fenestration, including a semicircular-arched stair window set within a broad gable that breaks the eaves at the centre. There is also an advanced single-storey gabled bay to the centre left.

The east (side) elevation has two windows on the ground floor and one window on the first floor to the right. The west (side) elevation features two windows on the first floor.

Inside, as seen in 2010, the principal rooms have elaborately detailed cornicing, and the hall has moulded cornicing. There are window shutters, a timber staircase with a finely detailed cast-iron balustrade and timber handrail, and a tiled floor in the porch.

The building has plate glass, timber-framed sash and case windows with leaded upper panes on the principal elevation. The roof is covered with grey slates and lead flashing, and it features cast-iron rainwater goods and coped ridge stacks with clay circular cans.

The boundary wall is low and saddle-back coped, with square-plan gate piers topped with jettied pyramidal caps. The iron gates are inscribed with 'FLOWERHILL MANSE'.
