Wellandura Including Outbuildings And Boundary Walls, St Fillans

This is a two-story, L-plan villa built in 1872. It is situated on the main road through St Fillans and is well-designed with notable architectural details that positively contribute to the streetscape. The villa occupies a prominent position.

The main architectural features include decorative bargeboards, deep bracketed eaves, a corner turret with a conical roof, canted windows, and decorative cast-iron finials on the gables and turret. The L-plan has advanced gables to both the southwest (principal) and southeast (side) elevations. A stone porch with a timber-boarded front door is located within the re-entrant angle. A four-light canted window with a slate roof is featured on the southwest gable, with a bipartite window above it. A small oculus window sits over the porch, and three staggered narrow windows illuminate the upper part of the stair turret. A distinctive two-light canted window with a blind panel is present on the ground floor of the southeast gable. The northeast (rear) elevation features a gable on the right-hand side and a single-story service outshot across the ground floor. The northwest (side) elevation has minimal fenestration, with a narrow ground floor window and a small dormer with deep eaves. The villa exhibits a base course, long and short quoins, window margins, and stop-chamfered openings. The bargeboards are pierced and supported on paired brackets. Chimney stacks have cornices and decorative clay cans.

The interior includes a curved timber staircase with decorative cast-iron balusters and a mahogany handrail. Timber chimneypieces and working timber shutters are found in two principal rooms, complemented by timber-panelled interior doors and cornicing throughout.

The villa is constructed of squared, snecked whinstone with cream sandstone dressings, with random rubble masonry at the rear. It has timber sash and case windows with predominantly plate glass glazing and a graded grey slate roof. Associated features include an ashlar-coped random rubble boundary wall to the street, decorative cast iron railings above the wall featuring anthemion and daisy motifs, cast iron gatepiers, and a likely later wrought iron gate. A three-door ancillary outbuilding with a slate roof, timber-boarded doors and chamfered ashlar door architraves is located behind the house. A boathouse, dating to circa 1930 and constructed of stone with a piended slate roof, is also present.
