Description

Seabank, located in Low Askomil, Campbeltown, is a house dating from around 1830. It is a two-storey, three-bay symmetrical structure with a rectangular plan and a wing that projects to the rear. The front elevation is painted ashlar, while the rear and side elevations are roughcast with droved ashlar dressings. The building features a base course, a dividing band, and lintel courses, along with an eaves cornice, raised margins, and projecting cills.

On the south elevation facing Low Askomil, the entrance door is centrally located and framed by a pilastered stone doorpiece with an entablature and a blocking course above. A stone stair leads down to a basement, featuring wrought-iron handrails. The entrance door is a deep-set six-panel design, with a panelled inner door that has two round-arched glazed upper panels.

The north elevation, or rear, has three bays. The central bay features an architraved entrance door at the first floor, complete with a cornice and a blocking course that breaks the eaves above. There is a narrow window to the right and a forestair with wrought-iron handrails. The outer left has an advanced gabled wing with a lean-to addition. A six-panel timber door, also architraved, has a five-pane fanlight above.

The west elevation shows a two-bay gable end of the principal front, with the rear wing projecting to the right. The first-floor bay on the left is blank, while a window is centred in the gable above. The building has timber sash and case windows, with four panes on the south elevation and twelve panes at the principal openings on the side and rear. The roof is covered in grey slate, featuring cast-iron gutters and downpipes. There are piend-roofed, slate-hung timber dormers at the outer bays of the south pitch and centering the north pitch, each with nine-pane timber sash and case windows. The principal gables have roughcast, coped apex stacks with sandstone ashlar ends and circular cans, while the rear gable has a tall two-tier coped apex stack. Sandstone ashlar skew copes are also present.

The boundary walls consist of a roughcast coped dwarf wall along Low Askomil, topped with iron railings and an iron gate at the centre, all featuring fleur-de-lys finials. There are paired stugged ashlar gatepiers with cornices and ogee caps at the outer left and right, with an iron gate on the left and a modern gate on the right. A random rubble wall is present along High Askomil.
