Seaside Cottage, Low Askomil, Campbeltown

Seaside Cottage in Low Askomil, Campbeltown, is an early 19th century single-storey, three-bay classical villa. It features a later 19th century single-bay square wing that projects to the west and a kitchen wing that extends from the center of the rear elevation. The cottage has roughcast walls with ashlar dressings, including a base course, lintel course, and a cornice at the eaves, topped with a blocking course at the principal elevation. The corners, stacks, and windows have raised margins, with projecting cills.

On the south (principal) elevation, there are stone steps leading to a pilastered doorpiece with an entablature above. This entablature features a tablet that breaks the blocking course and displays arms and the inscription "Manu Fort." The later wing on the left has a bipartite window at its center and a single window on the west return elevation. To the right, there is a modern lean-to garage.

The cottage has a variety of timber sash and case windows with plate glass, arranged in 4, 6, and 12-pane patterns. The principal block and side wing have a grey slate piended roof, while the gabled rear wing is covered with purple slates. The principal block has large rendered wallhead stacks with octagonal cans, and the rear wings feature two-flue apex stacks with circular cans.

Inside, the interior has been dismantled, but a cupboard door with fielded panelling remains on the south wall, along with panelled reveals at the doorway to the later wing.

The boundary walls consist of random rubble with an ashlar coping along Low Askomil. The southwest gatepiers are made of snecked ashlar, corniced, with domed caps, and there are modern steel gates.

An outbuilding on the property is two-storey and rendered, with stores on the ground floor and a stone stair with an iron handrail leading to the upper floor. It has a slate gabled roof with an apex stack.
