Description

Ardgour is a mid-19th century, two-storey, three-bay villa with a gabled, rectangular plan. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar with polished stone dressings and features chamfered arrises. The villa has a base course, advanced eaves, and exposed rafters.

On the south elevation, there are three symmetrical bays. The central door is slightly advanced and has a corniced doorpiece, a two-leaf boarded door, and a plate glass fanlight above. Flanking the door are slightly advanced tripartite windows, with a gable breaking the eaves above. The gablehead features a large three-centre arched window.

The north elevation is made of rubble with harl pointing and has gable breaking eaves at the centre. It includes a large stair window, a single-storey jamb at ground level, and tall narrow windows to the outer left and right.

The main elevation features plate glass sash and case windows, with a configuration of four panes over six panes, and an eight-pane margined sash and case stair window. The roof is covered in grey slate with lead flashings and has low, corniced ridge stacks with octagonal cans.

The interior was not seen in 1993. The property is enclosed by a boundary wall made of whinstone and harl with a rubble coping, along with modern rendered gatepiers.
