Description

Ardsloy is a two-storey villa located on Rosneath Road in Kilcreggan, likely designed by Alexander Thomson around 1850. The building has a rectangular plan and features low gabled roofs with Italianate details. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar, with polished sandstone margins and dressings, and includes pilaster mullions. The villa has a base course, a moulded string course, projecting eaves, and exposed rafters.

The main elevation showcases a broad, advanced gable with a large bowed window at the center, set on a deep base. This window features square columnar mullions, a blocking course, a dentil cornice, and a low cast-iron balustrade with an ashlar die and coping. Above, there is a tripartite window on the first floor. To the outer right, a square porch bay is recessed, leading to steps and a platt that access a pilastered and corniced doorcase. This doorcase includes a blocking course, a two-leaf panelled door with unusual horizontal boarding, and a two-pane fanlight, with glass to the right in a leaded honeycomb pattern.

The villa has plate glass timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with lead flashings, and a rendered wallhead stack.

The boundary wall surrounding the property is made of rubble with boulder coping, enclosing the garden to the south and north. Along Shore Road, there is a low whinstone plinth boundary wall with slab coping and a painted ashlar gatepier.
