Description

8-10 Main Street in Bothwell is a mid-19th century, two-storey, symmetrical, three-bay house built in a plain classical style. It has a rectangular plan and features a later one-and-a-half storey addition at the rear. The exterior is constructed from droved pink ashlar sandstone with polished dressings, while the sides and rear are finished in stugged sandstone. The building includes a base course, eaves course, cornice, and blocking course, with raised architraved surrounds to the windows, a plain frieze, and a cornice on the ground floor windows. Raised strip quoins add to its architectural detail.

On the south elevation, the main entrance features a raised pilastered and corniced doorpiece with a plain frieze and pediment, located in the central bay. The entrance includes a deep-set timber panelled door with a rectangular fanlight above it, and there is a single window on the first floor directly above the door. Each of the flanking bays has a window on both floors.

The north elevation is also symmetrical with three bays and includes a one-and-a-half storey lean-to addition in the centre. This addition has a blank outer wall and a wallhead stack in the centre. There is a replacement door with a window flanking it on the ground floor to the left, and a window on the first floor above. The right return has a window on each floor, while the main wall's centre bay has a window truncated by the lean-to addition. The left and right bays each have a window on both floors.

The east side elevation is irregular with two bays and features an ashlar square-plan porch along with a modern glazed lean-to section at the front of the central bay. Above this, there is a gablehead stack. The left bay has a window on each floor.

The west side elevation has a window in the right bay on both floors, and a window on the first floor in the left bay, with a gablehead stack positioned centrally above.

The building displays a variety of glazing patterns, including timber sash and case windows (with a six-pane over a single pane configuration on the first floor) and replacement uPVC windows on the ground floor. It has a grey slate roof, with slate covering the rear lean-to, and ashlar skews. The gables on the west and east sides feature ashlar coped stacks, with the east stack being a replacement. The rainwater goods are primarily cast-iron, with some uPVC replacements at the rear.

The interior was not seen during the last assessment in 1997.
