Fisherwood, Lomond Road, Balloch

Fisherwood is a large, two-storey and single-storey semi-detached villa built in 1902 in the Old English Arts and Crafts style. Originally constructed as a semi-detached, it has since reverted to that configuration. The exterior is a combination of painted render, red sandstone ashlar margins and dressings, red brick, red tile-hung first floors, mock half-timbering, and projecting eaves.

The west-facing elevation displays an asymmetrical M-gable design. To the left is a gable with a tripartite window at ground level, featuring an ashlar transom and mullion, and a smaller window on the return. A replacement plate glass window sits above. A lower gable is set to the right, with a recessed area at ground level and a battered buttress in the centre, leading to a door. The door surround is moulded with consoles and a shell pediment, with the inscribed lintel "Far from court far from care”. Two shallow oriels, supported by timber corbels and arranged symmetrically, are positioned at the first floor, with a corbelled chimney stack projecting centrally. To the right is a lower, single-storey, red brick section with a broad mock-timber frieze under the eaves. A rendered, flat-roofed square bay is advanced in the corner, featuring a tripartite window, a narrow window centrally, and a further tripartite window to the outer right. Gabled canted dormers, one square and one quadripartite, complete the roofline.

The north-facing elevation is arranged with three bays, nearly symmetrical in design, and features terminal buttresses. A canted oriel with a sandstone roll-moulded corbel and buttressing underneath is centrally placed. It has a tile-hung apron and a half-timber gable that breaks the eaves. Flanking this are two shallow canted timber windows at ground level.

The east-facing elevation also showcases an asymmetrical M-gable design with an advanced single-storey wing to the outer left. The broad gable to the right has a tripartite window at ground level and a canted oriel at the first floor, with a mock half-timber gablehead. A lower gable to the left incorporates a small tripartite window to the left and a single window to the right at ground level, with two windows on the first floor. The advanced single-storey wing on the outer left features a quadripartite window.

The south-facing elevation has a broad single-storey gable advanced to the outer left, with a red brick ground floor and a door to the right framed by a red brick buttress. The door is panelled with a five-pane letterbox fanlight and has a corniced surround. A timber painted sundial is on the building to the left, inscribed "watch weel." A two-stage square tower rises behind, with bipartite windows at each stage and a moulded string course that continues as an eaves cornice around a flat-roofed bay to the right. A single-storey, piend-roofed block is located to the right with an entrance in the re-entrant angle, and a lower wing extends further to the right.

Windows are predominantly timber sash and case effect with nine panes over plate glass at ground level, and fixed multi-paned above. The roof is covered in red tiles, with a broad red brick corniced ridge stack topped with red terracotta circular cans.

The interior of both houses retains good Arts and Crafts decor, including inglenook fireplaces. The dining room was refitted around 1950 and contains fixed furniture originating from the SS Queen Mary.

An adjoining wash house contains a copper mangle, a gardener's toilet, and two coal bunkers.
