Description
The building is a mid-19th century stable located at Lovedale on Shore Road in Kilcreggan. It is a two-storey, two-bay gabled villa constructed from whinstone with harl pointing, featuring painted ashlar margins and dressings. The design includes projecting eaves, exposed rafters, quoin strips, and a base course.
On the southeast elevation, there is a broad gable on the outer left with a full-height bowed window. To the right, a slender bay is recessed and features an angled porch supported by square piers in the re-entrant angle. The southeast elevation also has a blank wall on the outer left, with the porch in the re-entrant angle. A broad two-bay gable is advanced to the outer right, with symmetrically placed windows, including tripartite windows at the ground level and bipartite windows on the first floor.
The northwest elevation has a blank wall to the left and a broad gable on the outer left, with two symmetrically placed windows on the first floor. There is also a single-storey lean-to block at the ground level on the outer left. The northeast elevation features a blank wall with a single-storey lean-to scullery block at the centre, and a former wooden slatted larder stands free-standing to the outer right.
The windows are plate glass timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate and has lead flashings, with a tall rendered and coped wallhead stack, squat coped sandstone ridge stacks, and circular cans.
Inside, the hall windows feature painted glass, and the stair has cast-iron barley-sugar balusters. The drawing room is adorned with acanthus leaf plasterwork and a ceiling rosette, along with a four-panelled door.
Additionally, there is a greenhouse designed by Simpson and Farmer from the mid to late 19th century. It is a wooden and glass rectangular-plan block with a gabled porch to the southeast of the house, featuring decorative cast-iron cresting along the porch entrance, although the cresting along the ridge of the main body has been removed.
To the northwest of the site is the stable block, which is a rectangular-plan structure with an advanced gable to the southeast, featuring two doors at ground level and a hoist door in the gablehead.
The boundary wall and gatepiers consist of whinstone with harl-pointing to the northwest, while the southeast features a stugged ashlar wall with moulded ashlar coping and arrowhead railings. The square piers have a modillion cornice and raised pyramidal cap.
