Woodside, Gavinton

Woodside in Gavinton is a 2-storey, 3-bay T-plan manse built in 1843, with later alterations and additions. The exterior features stugged ashlar with droved ashlar dressings and a polished ashlar doorpiece, along with squared and snecked sandstone with droved dressings. The south elevation has strip pilasters and slightly advanced margins.

On the south elevation, there is a central panelled door with a border-glazed rectangular fanlight, which is deep-set in a pilastered and mutule-corniced doorpiece, with a window above on the first floor. Each flanking bay has a window on both floors.

The east elevation includes a blinded window on the first floor of the left bay, with a window in the right bay. The return of the east elevation features an asymmetrical projection, with a window on each floor of the left bay and a panelled door in the right bay, which has a window above. There is a half-piended single-storey addition slightly set back on the outer right, which has a door.

On the north elevation, there is a window on each floor of the left bay, with a projection in the centre extending to the right, while the outer right bay is blank.

The west elevation shows the gabled side of the house, with a window in the left bay on each floor and a blinded window on the first floor of the right bay. The return of the west elevation has a window at the first floor right of centre and a small window at ground level on the outer right. There is also a modern partly-glazed door with a rectangular plate glass fanlight above in the left bay.

The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case. The roof is slate, featuring line-rendered wallhead stacks on the east and west elevations.
