Ladylaw, Rosalee Brae

Ladylaw, located on Rosalee Brae, is a former villa built around 1830, which was extended in 1902 and split into two parts between 1953 and 1956. The building has an extensive rectangular plan, featuring an original single-storey, symmetrical Italianate south wing with deep overhanging eaves and full-height windows with lying-pane glazing. The later north wing, added in 1902, is a plain two-storey structure. The south wing is constructed of tooled yellow sandstone with ashlar detailing, while the north wing has squared stonework, both featuring polished ashlar dressings. The south wing has a deep base course and a moulded eaves course, with quoin strips and slightly raised margins, along with projecting cills.

The south wing's east elevation has three bays and features a central door framed by a pilastered architrave with a pediment that breaks the eaves. The south elevation has four bays, and the west elevation has a blind wall to the right and two bays to the left, which continues into the north wing. The roof is piended with a flat central section. Inside, the entrance lobby has decorative ceramic floor tiles leading to a central hall through a two-leaf inner door topped with a four-pane fanlight. The hall is crowned by a square clerestory, and the west side features a segmental-arched vault supported by fluted timber Doric columns. There is a full-height stone chimneypiece with an inscription, along with ornately carved pelmets, an overmantel, and some ornamental panelling and plasterwork in the principal rooms. The interior has four-panel timber doors throughout and some marble chimneypieces, as well as cornices.

The north wing has a north elevation with three stone steps leading to a door located left of centre in a four-bay section, with a single-storey section to the left. The west elevation has four bays that continue into the south wing. Both wings feature piended roofs. The south wing has sixteen lying-pane glazed timber sash and case windows, while the north wing has four-pane glazing in similar windows. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are coped ashlar stacks with tall, octagonal buff clay cans.
