Description

Braehead is a two-storey house featuring three windows, built with cement rendered over stone. It has end pilaster strips and a band under the eaves, topped with a slate hipped roof and rendered end rectangular chimneys. The first floor has three 12-pane hornless sash windows. There is a late 19th-century one-storey addition on the ground floor, which has seven bays and is decorated with pilasters and brackets that support a cornice. The central doorway is flanked by a narrow window on each side, followed by a pair of windows on each side; all doorways and windows have leaded lights with coloured roundels. The rear elevation is made of stone, featuring three sash windows, each three panes wide, on the first floor and one on the ground floor to the right. There is a modern lean-to addition made of painted brick with a slate roof against the left-hand and middle bays. A small outbuilding, likely of similar age, adjoins the north-east corner and has stone rubble walls with a slate gabled roof. At the front, there is a low stone wall with square gatepiers and iron railings.
