Description
Primrose Bank is a house dating from the later 19th century, situated on Belleisle Avenue in Uddingston. It is a two-storey, asymmetrical house with a rectangular plan, notable for an advanced, corbelled bay to the left with decorative pierced bargeboards. The house is constructed of stugged pink sandstone ashlar with polished ashlar dressings, featuring a base course, a string course, and a cornice to the square bay on the right. Window reveals are chamfered, with aproned cills, stone mullions, and long and short quoins. A rectangular, piend-roofed addition with linking bays is situated at the rear.
The east (principal) elevation showcases a pointed-arched doorpiece in the central bay, containing a foliate carved panel beneath the arch. The entrance is a two-leaf timber panelled door with a letterbox fanlight, and a replacement small-pane door sits behind in a small vestibule. A three-light canted projection is visible at ground level on the left, with a three-light window above it at first floor level. To the right, a five-light square bay features a pointed arch in the cornice with a carved foliate panel beneath, and a bipartite dormer window above with a decorative wrought-iron finial.
The rear, west elevation is irregular in appearance, with three bays and a square-plan, piended addition linked to the main house on the right. A stair window is positioned centrally. A window is located at ground level on the left, with a gabled dormer window above. A replacement part-glazed door with a fanlight and a flanking small window are found on the right at ground level. The addition to the rear presents an irregular fenestration pattern.
The south (side) elevation features a gabled wall with two bays: a window at ground level on the left, and a window at first floor above it, with another window at first floor level on the right. A gablehead stack is positioned above. The north (side) elevation displays a blank gabled wall with a multi-flue gablehead stack above.
The windows are predominantly two- and four-pane timber sash and case windows, although some have been replaced with uPVC at the rear. The roof is covered in grey slate with overhanging eaves and exposed rafters, with slate also used on the addition. Ashlar coped stacks are present on the north and south sides, with original tall cans on the north. Cast-iron rainwater goods are in place.
The interior of the house was not inspected in 1997.
Gatepiers and boundary walls constructed of painted square-plan sandstone, featuring plinths, stepped cornice pediments, and a replacement wrought-iron gate, flank the property. Stugged and squared rubble sandstone boundary walls with a curved cope enclose the site.
