Douglas Lodge, 28 Silverwells Crescent, Bothwell

This is a house built in the later 19th century, with later alterations and additions. It is an asymmetrical, two-storey house with Italianate details, originally built in a "L" shape, with a rectangular block added later and set slightly back to the right.

The house is constructed primarily of pink sandstone ashlar, with a rough-faced finish ("stugged and snecked") to the rear, and polished ashlar used for decorative details. Features include a base course, cills to the windows, bracketed cills to a projecting first-floor window, raised window cills to the later addition, mullioned windows (with plain columns to the addition), an eaves course to the original gabled section, and strip quions (decorative cornerstones) to the original block. A triple-pitched garage block is set back to the northwest of the main house.

The south-facing elevation is irregular, with four bays grouped as 1-1-2. It features a projecting square bay with a bipartite window on the ground floor and a round-headed tripartite window above. A timber and stained-glass porch is situated at the angle of the "L", providing access. The west-facing elevation is also irregular, with a gabled bay to the left featuring windows in each bay, with a bipartite, round-arched window on the first floor. A three-panel porch is set back to the right. The north-facing rear elevation shows a modern staircase and fibreglass awning leading to a rear entrance, along with other modern additions and irregular window placement. A flat-roofed addition is present at ground level on the right, with a bipartite window, and a piend-roofed addition to the left.

The east-facing elevation has a single window set to the right, alongside a section of otherwise blank wall with a redundant brick structure at ground level. Most windows are timber sash and case with two panes of glass, although some casement replacements are present at the rear. The roof is grey slate, with a piended slate roof to the addition, and modern piended and flat roofs to the rear additions. The porch has slate roofing. There are ashlar-coped stacks on the south, north, and east sides, and cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior features architraved timber panelled doors, skirting boards, and plaster cornices.

The property is enclosed by low sandstone boundary walls with a curved ashlar coping. The walls are punctuated by stop-chamfered square piers, with an outswept octagonal cornice and ball finial.
