East Ayrlow Banks

East Ayrlow Banks is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with later alterations and additions. The building is rendered, featuring Welsh slates on the front roof and stone slates on the rear roof. It has two storeys and a rear outshut, with four first-floor windows. The central entrance has a part-glazed door set within a late 17th to early 18th-century chamfered ashlar surround. The windows have wedge lintels and are mostly side-sliding sashes. The bays on either side of the door are part of the original house; the ground-floor windows here are 20th-century casements, while the first-floor windows are positioned lower than the others. The outer bays are later additions, with a 20th-century casement window inserted between the first and second bays on the left, and no ground-floor window in the fourth bay. The building features shaped kneelers and ashlar copings throughout. There is a brick stack at the left end, a brick top on a large ancient stack at the left end of the original house, a corniced ashlar stack at the right end of the original house, and an ashlar stack at the right end. Inside, there is a large fireplace to the left of the original house, featuring a curved timber bressumer and an inserted stone surround for a kitchen range dating from around 1800. Some doors have two fielded panels, and the central section has chamfered beams and wide timber floorboards. The roof of the central section is said to contain re-used crucks.
