Description
11 Walter Street in Wishaw is a 2-storey, 2-bay, asymmetrical, L-plan villa built in 1904 by John Forrester Steel, showcasing the Arts and Crafts style. The exterior features rough square and snecked sandstone with ashlar sandstone quoins, while the upper storey is finished with white harling. A recessed porch is located to the right of an advanced bay, supported by a square tapered corner column with a plain Doric capital. The eaves overhang, revealing exposed rafters.
On the west elevation, stone steps lead to the porch, which has a timber door with decorative panelling and three small leaded lights. To the left, there is a 3-light stone mullioned window, and above, a large canted timber window is supported on timber corbels, featuring a jettied gablehead. An advanced full-height stack is positioned to the right, scalloped and battered at the eaves, with an oculus window nearby that has a plain ashlar margin. The upper storey is finished in white harling.
The east elevation presents a blank masonry wall with two flat-topped wallhead dormers. To the right, there is an advanced single-storey bay with a plain door and window, beneath a piended gable roof. A full-height wallhead chimney stack stands freestanding from the eaves level.
The south elevation includes the advanced bay from the west elevation on the left, with a bi-partite mullioned window to the left of the bay. To the right, there is an advised canted bay with a plain cornice, and a central 4-light mullioned window above, with the upper storey also finished in white harling. An advanced single-storey bay is located at the far right.
The north elevation was not visible in 2000. The villa features plate glass timber sash and case windows, with 'Glasgow School' stained glass in the upper portions of the ground floor windows and casements in the canted windows. The roof is covered with grey slate, and ashlar coped stacks are present on the east and north sides, along with cast-iron rainwater goods.
Inside, the drawing room includes built-in white painted timber inglenook settles in the 'Glasgow School' style, featuring pierced fretwork carving, along with a moulded cornice and rose.
