Boundary Wall And Gatepiers, Ardentigh, Mains Road, Port Bannatyne

Ardentigh is a mid to later 19th century, asymmetrical, 2-storey, 3-bay gabled villa, with a slightly advanced outer right bay. The building features whitewashed harl with painted margins, a raised plinth, and a corniced canted window at the ground level. The eaves are overhanging and supported by timber brackets. It has narrow strip quoins, stop-chamfered reveals for openings, which include square-headed, shouldered, and round-arched designs, as well as stop-chamfered sandstone mullions and corbelled cills, with architraved details at the first floor. A gabled, columnar porch is also present.

On the northwest (entrance) elevation, steps lead to the gabled porch, which is centered at the ground level and features bell-capital columns, timber brackets, and stop-chamfered timber detailing beneath the apex, which has a stylised king-post. A recessed, 2-leaf timber panelled door is located within the porch, topped by a round-arched, plate-glass fanlight. There is a shouldered-arched, bipartite window at the ground level in the outer left bay, and a round-arched, gabled window that breaks the eaves at the first floor. The advanced bay on the outer right has a 3-light canted window, while a round-arched, bipartite window is centered in the first floor apex.

The northeast (side) elevation has single windows at the ground level in the outer left and right bays, and a single window at the first floor that is offset to the left of center. There is a lean-to addition recessed to the outer left, which includes a timber door in the bay to the right, a narrow window offset to the left, and single windows in both bays at the first floor.

The villa has 2-pane timber sash and case windows, with replacement roof tiles and some original rainwater goods. The ridge and apex stacks are coped sandstone with octagonal cans.

The boundary wall and gatepiers consist of a rubble-coped, part-harled wall that encloses the site. The entrance is flanked by painted, coursed octagonal-plan gatepiers with corniced octagonal caps, although the gates are missing. The interior was not seen in 1996.
