Wellwood Park, Ettrick Terrace, Selkirk

Wellwood Park is a large house dating from 1852-3, with alterations and extensions in 1911 and later additions. It is sited on a sloping ground falling to the northwest. The northwest elevation is built of bull-faced sandstone with ashlar dressings, while the southeast elevation uses stugged ashlar with polished ashlar dressings. A base course is present on the southeast elevation.

The northwest elevation has three storeys and six bays. It features a full-height, gabled canted bay with a three-light window, and a central ground-floor entrance. Above this is a transomed bipartite window at the first floor, flanked by other windows, with a decorative course separating the first and second floors. The canted bay’s gable above the first floor features a bipartite window. A later advanced bay to the penultimate right has a datestone inscribed "1853" in the gablehead. A slightly advanced bay to the penultimate left displays a window at ground level and a tripartite window at the second floor, finished with a balustraded parapet. Lastly, a bay to the outer right mirrors the inner right bay, except with a ground-floor window. An engaged three-story tower is positioned at the outer left and outer left corner of the elevation, with a band course between each floor and a further eaves course.

The southeast elevation is two storeys high with four bays. It includes a ground-floor door and a bipartite window set into the eaves of the inner left bay. A gabled bay to the outer right has two widely spaced windows at ground level, above which is a corbelled canted oriel window at the first floor. A later advanced stack rises from the ground to the outer right. A window is situated to the right of the inner left bay, which is followed by a projecting wall from the re-entrant angle. A tripartite window above this breaks the eaves and is topped with a gabled dormerhead. A projecting bay to the outer left is gabled and includes a door with a consoled platformed canopy, flanked by windows; a consoled canted oriel sits in the gablehead at the first floor. Screen walls with swept coped wallheads flank additions to the re-entrant angles of this elevation.

The southwest elevation presents as two storeys and two bays, with each bay gabled. A tripartite transomed window is located on the ground floor of the right bay, above which is a window at the first floor. A canted window is on the ground floor of the left bay, with transomed windows above and a tripartite window on the first floor.

Various timber sash and case windows are present, including four-pane, eight-pane, lying-pane, and plate glass examples. There are also some fixed pane leaded windows. The roof is slate, with exposed rafters at the eaves. Intricate pierced bargeboarding adorns the gables of the southeast and southwest elevations. Ashlar coped stacks, some octagonal and grouped, are present.

The interior of the house was not inspected in 1995.

Whinstone rubble boundary walls with droved coping and square-plan ashlar gatepiers with pyramidal tops are situated surrounding the property.
