Office, Hazelburn Distillery, Millknowe Road, Campbeltown

Complex of distillery buildings dating from 1836, comprising a tenement fronting the street with a flanking office wing of circa 1888 to the north-west and duty-free warehouses to the south-east, both positioned at right angles to the street to create a U-shaped plan.

Tenement

A three-storey building with attic, four bays in width. The street elevation displays squared rubble walls with droved window margins and projecting cills, and an eaves course. Fenestration is regular throughout, with the ground floor window in the second bay featuring a cornice and a segmentally-arched pend at the outer right bay with stop-chamfered margins. The north-west gable wall is blank and roughcast, while side and rear elevations are roughcast.

The rear (north-east) elevation shows four bays with a segmentally-arched pend at ground floor in the left bay. A projecting circular stair tower rises at the third bay, fitted with two windows at intermediate levels and two slit windows in the re-entrant angle to the left. An ashlar coped wall intersects the stair tower at ground level, terminating to the left at a square stugged ashlar gatepier with base and pyramidal cap surmounted by an iron lamp. A pedestrian gate opening is adjacent to the gatepier. The office wing intersects at the ground floor of the outer right bay.

Windows comprise timber sash and case frames: four-pane to the street elevation, twelve-pane to the rear, with a lying-pane at the top left and plate glass lower sash at the upper stair window; four-pane frames at first floor to the outer right, and plate glass to narrow windows. The pend contains modern timber infill, and glazed doors serve the rear. The grey slate roof continues over the circular stair tower, which is piended and features slate-hung timber dormers on the rear pitch with multi-pane casement windows. Cast-iron gutters and downpipes drain the roof. A thirteen-flue apex stack serves the north-west gable with roughcast finish and dressed corners, coped with a circular can; a six-flue stack at the ridge to the right of the third bay is similarly finished.

Interior fittings surviving include fireplaces, shutters, doors and cornices.

Distillery Managers Offices

A later 19th-century single-storey wing projecting to the north-east from the rear of a gabled single-bay extension to the street frontage. The building spans five bays. Stugged sandstone ashlar with droved arrises distinguishes the south-east elevation, while coursed rubble with droved raised margins at windows and corners is used elsewhere.

The south-east (principal) elevation presents five bays with base and eaves courses, the eaves section lower at the first bay. Entrance doors occupy the first and second bays, with bipartite windows in the third to fifth bays. The north-west elevation shows five bays with a blank gable end of the tenement wing to the outer right. Bipartite windows appear at the first, second and fifth bays, a tripartite window at the third bay, and an entrance door at the fourth bay.

Windows are plate glass timber sash and case frames. Entrance doors comprise a six-panel, two-leaf timber frame at the second bay of the south-east elevation; modern timber and glazed doors serve elsewhere. A Welsh slate roof with cast-iron gutters and downpipes is fitted with profiled gutters along the principal front, featuring a square downpipe with decorative hopper and brackets. A pair of ashlar ridge stacks without copes or cans crown the roof.

Interior features include five-panelled doors, shutters, high timber wainscoting and patterned timber ceiling. A particularly ornate cast-iron tiled grate with panelled timber surround forms the chimneypiece. The overmantle is panelled with a central mirror flanked by mirrors over panelled bases, themselves flanked by turned columns. Arch-heads infilled with radial patterns rise above, surmounted by a cornice with balustrade; the central section features a semicircular arch topped by an open pediment. An accounts clerk desk and customs room cupboard also survive.

Duty-Free Warehouse

A four-storey rectangular block measuring three by eight bays with its principal front facing Millknowe Road alongside the tenement. Stugged ashlar frontages distinguish the south-west and north-west elevations, while the south-east elevation is roughcast and the north-east elevation is random rubble with roughcast gablehead.

The south-west (Millknowe Road) elevation displays three bays with regular fenestration and square windows at the third floor. The south-east elevation extends eight bays with a string course at the second floor and regular fenestration at upper floors; paired windows mark the eighth bay at each floor, with infilling to the first floor window at the outer right. Ground floor contains a window in the first bay with an entrance door to its right, a window in the second bay, and modern entrance doors in the third to eighth bays. The north-east elevation is a gable end with windows to each floor at the outer right and evidence of infilled openings. The north-west elevation spans seven bays with regular fenestration; the ground floor shows blind openings and a service door in the third bay, with loading doors in the first bay of each floor above.

All openings are fitted with modern two and four-pane glazing and modern diagonally-boarded timber doors. A Welsh slate roof, piended at the south corner, drains via cast-iron gutters and downpipes.

Boundary Wall

A three-bay single-storey wall, the reduced former end gable of the warehouse to the south-east of the duty-free warehouse. Constructed in stugged squared and snecked rubble with stugged and droved dressings, it features three regularly spaced blind openings.
