Cartshed And Boundary Walls, Threepwood House Including Stable

The property comprises a villa, an older house linked to its rear, a stable block, and a cart shed, all dating from the late 18th and mid-19th centuries. The villa is attributed to David Bryce (Jnr) and was likely built around 1864. It is a two-story, symmetrical building of three bays, with a piend-roofed Italianate design, featuring canted bays and elaborate interior plasterwork. The villa is constructed from buff sandstone ashlar, with polished dressings, interrupted and eaves courses, and rusticated quoins. The central feature is a balustraded stone portico with square pillars, a moulded entablature, and a balustraded parapet, leading to a tripartite window above. Flanking bays are slightly advanced and include large canted windows with balustraded parapets on the ground floor. Plate glass is set within timber sash and case windows. The villa has ridge and end stacks with scrolled detailing, topped with octagonal clay cans, along with cast-iron rainwater goods.

A house of circa 1800 is linked to the rear of the villa. It is built of harled rubble and has irregular window placement, an end stack, and a pitched roof. A later two-story, square-plan, piend-roofed section extends outward from the west elevation, alongside a lean-to, glazed porch in a re-entrant angle. A single-story former service range is attached to the right, and a multi-astragalled tripartite window is visible on the south gable facing the garden.

The stable block, located opposite the house to the rear, is a single-story and attic structure with a gabled form, and lower, single-story, piend-roofed sections flanking it. It features a segmental-arched opening to the outer left and a tall brick stack to the outer right (a tack room). Construction is of rubble with sandstone ashlar dressings and irregular window placement with multi-astragalled timber frames. A mounting block is located to the left of the main entrance, and the roof is covered with grey slate, topped with an octagonal can. Cast-iron rainwater goods are also present. The interior of the stable block includes five timber-boarded stalls, a pebble-cobbled floor, and a simple block fireplace in the tack room.

The two-story cart shed has six segmental-arched cart openings separated by slender cast-iron columns, each surmounted by a triangular relieving stone. It is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings. Small windows are set close to the eaves. A single-story, piend-roofed section is located to the south, featuring a pair of timber doors. Stone steps lead to the upper-level door at the north gable end.
