Description
Waterside House is an earlier 19th-century country house, with later alterations and likely incorporating elements from a slightly earlier building. It is a two-storey structure with a basement and an irregular plan, constructed from stugged, snecked, and coursed squared rubble, with some plastic repairs and ashlar dressings. The roof is piended and gabled, covered with slate. The building features a base course and margined angles.
The windows include 2-pane and 4-pane sash and case types, many of which now have modern frames that are not in keeping with the original character. The front elevation has chamfered ashlar margins, with some windows featuring hoodmoulds or slab canopies. The eaves are deep and bracketed, adorned with decorative bargboards. A three-storey tower with a corniced stack has a corbelled and crenellated parapet.
On the northeast elevation, there is an advanced gable at the center with a single window on both the ground and first floors. To the right, there is a flat-roofed, pilastered, and corniced entrance porch with a panelled door, fanlight, and window. A window is recessed to the right, and there are two small pointed windows on the first floor. The tower is located at the left re-entrant angle, with a square plan featuring a door and window at the ground floor, and an octagonal shape at the upper floors with windows. Another window is recessed at the left, with a gable dormer-headed window above.
The west elevation has a window on the ground and first floors to the left, with a slightly advanced gable to the right that includes a door to the basement and a window on both the ground and first floors.
On the southeast elevation, there is an advanced gable to the center left, featuring a corbelled canted window on the ground floor and a bipartite window on the first floor. To the left, there is a recessed bay with a window to the basement, a tripartite window with a slab canopy on the ground floor, and a gable dormer-headed window above. The right side has considerably recessed bays, a door to the basement, and three single windows on the ground floor, along with a later door, window, and gable dormer-headed window on the first floor.
The interior has not been seen. The property also includes two painted ashlar gatepiers with decorative caps, wrought-iron gates and footgates, and a rubble boundary wall.
