Earnock Cottage, 58 Woodfoot Road

Earnock Cottage, located at 58 Woodfoot Road, is a single-storey and attic villa built in 1892, attributed to architect William Leiper. It features a roughly L-shaped plan in the Baronial style, characterized by crow-stepped gables, canted windows, and a balustraded entrance lobby. The exterior is constructed from squared, stugged sandstone with polished ashlar dressings, and includes a base course, a moulded eaves cornice, roll-moulded window and door margins on the main elevations, and curved skew putts.

The principal elevation faces southwest and includes a large gabled block oriented southwest to northeast, with a two-bay wing adjoining at right angles, featuring a gable on the northwest elevation. A tall staircase window rises from the re-entrant angle at the rear, and a single-storey section with a cat-slide roof fills the rest of the re-entrant angle. There is a walled enclosure, now with a roof, extending from the rear to form the L-plan.

On the southwest elevation, there is a slightly advanced gable to the right with a three-light canted window at ground level and a pedimented window above, adorned with pilaster finials. The central balustraded lobby in the re-entrant angle has a timber-boarded front door, a later slated canopy over the door, and pyramidal finials on the balustrade. To the left, there is a bipartite window at ground level and a dormer window above that breaks the eaves, featuring a semicircular pediment inscribed with the monogram JW and dated 1892.

Other elevations include a three-light canted window to the right of the southeast elevation, with an armorial bearing in a moulded square panel to the left. The northwest elevation has a shouldered stack slightly projecting from the right gable and irregular fenestration to the left, with ball finials on the roof. The rear features fairly irregular fenestration, including a stained-glass staircase window with border-glazing.

Most windows have non-traditional uPVC glazing, although some original four-pane glazing remains in the timber sash and case windows on the sides and rear. The building has corniced, shouldered stacks with octagonal yellow clay cans, a graded grey slate roof, and cast-iron rainwater goods with decorative brackets at the front.
