Spiersfield House, Stevenson Street, Paisley

Spiersfield House, located on Stevenson Street in Paisley, was designed by architect John Hutchison and completed in 1874, with extensions added in 1892. This two-storey and attic L-plan villa showcases a mixed round arch style, constructed from stugged ashlar with polished dressings, including long and short angle quoins on a channelled base course.

The east front is asymmetrical, featuring three wide gabled bays, with the left bay advanced, and one narrow bay positioned between the centre and right gables. A single-storey porch with round-headed arches, flanked by pilasters, projects from the centre and is accessed by steps that include cast-iron lamp standards. A convex quadrant with a hood moulded sash window connects the porch to the left advanced bay, which has a balustrade above. The left bay also contains an advanced single-storey six-light window, while the right bay features a canted window, both similarly balustraded. The narrow bay has a round-headed window with Renaissance tracery. The first-floor windows are all round-headed tripartite in the left bay and bipartite in the centre and right bays, with the latter featuring a moulded over arch and a sculpted head in the tympanum. Oculi are present in the left and right gables.

On the north elevation, there is an advanced gabled bay on the right with a two-storey, five-light bow window, featuring straight-headed lights on the ground floor and round-headed lights on the first floor, along with bracketted eaves and a slate roof. To the left, a corbelled stack rises through the eaves. The rear includes single-storey and attic offices, along with modern additions to the rear and south. The building has wide eaves and slate roofs throughout.

The interiors are notable, featuring a porch with mosaics, stained glass, and marble in the hall, as well as a former billiard room located in the first-floor south bay. The main rooms boast fine plaster ceilings and mouldings.

Within the grounds, there is a single-storey coach house attached to a two-storey cottage, also designed by Hutchison.
