Airdalainn, High Asmill Road, Campbeltown

Airdalainn is a house dating to the later 19th century, situated on High Asmill Road in Campbeltown. It is a two-storey, three-bay near-symmetrical building exhibiting Italianate influence, with single-storey, single-bay wings extending to the east and west. The house is constructed with stugged ashlar walls, with squared and snecked stone to the side elevations, and features painted polished ashlar dressings and details. The rear elevation is of random rubble construction. The base course is battered and the lower section is constructed of bull-faced stone featuring a dentilled band course at the first floor and a heavy, bracketed timber eaves cornice. Staggered quoins mark the corners and windows of the wings and principal elevations, while the front and side windows have chamfered arrises. The rear windows and corners are treated with plain raised margins, and the sills project.

The south (entrance) elevation has a stone doorpiece in the centre bay with partially fluted pilasters, a cornice, and a block pediment above, with a bipartite window placed above. A six-panel (formerly two-leaf) timber entrance door is set within the doorpiece. Two-storey, semicircular bows flank the centre bay, each incorporating a five-light window on both the ground and first floors. Sandstone steps lead to the entrance, with walled sides and modern handrails.

The east and west elevations each feature a single window centrally positioned on the first floor, with service wings at ground floor level.

The north (rear) elevation is three-bay, originally with a projecting stair tower in the centre. Single-storey porches originally flanked the tower, but an additional storey has been added to the west porch. The first bay on the rear elevation has a first-floor window that has been converted into a doorway, accessed by a metal stair. A round-arched former stair window, now partially blocked, is located at first floor level.

A bow-fronted, parapetted addition with a tripartite window is attached to the west wing.

The house has plate glass timber sash and case windows, with four-pane timber sash and case windows to the rear. Modern glazing is present on the east elevation and wings, as well as on a first-floor door at the rear. The roofs are shallow-pitched and piended, covered in grey slate. A platform surrounded by brattishing is present on the main block, including the bows. A modern slated stair enclosure is built into the west wing roof, accessed from a former window on the west elevation. Decorated, profiled cast-iron gutters are found on the main block and east wing; a plain profiled gutter is on the west wing. Cast-iron downpipes are located on the side and rear elevations. Paired three-flue wallhead stacks, corniced and with decorative octagonal cans, are centrally positioned on the east and west elevations.

Random rubble boundary walls with a coped top are located to the south, with ornate, cast-iron railings. Square gatepiers, featuring bases, panelled fronts, stop-chamfered corners, moulded pyramidal caps, and ball finials, are also present. Random rubble boundary walls with a ceramic cope and stugged dressings run along the rear and sides of the garden. Stugged, square gatepiers with domed caps stand within the east wall. A random rubble retaining wall is located to the rear of the house, and decorative cast-iron clothes poles are situated in the garden above.
