41 Argyle Street, Rothesay, Bute

41 Argyle Street is a former hotel, built in the mid to later 19th century, which has been converted into two separate tenements in the later 20th century. The building is asymmetrical, three stories high with an attic, and features five bays. It is constructed of random rubble sandstone with polished red sandstone margins and droved red rubble dressings. The structure has a raised base course, corniced eaves, and some plastic repairs to the squared and snecked blocking course. Notable architectural features include prominent red sandstone quoins and droved long and short surrounds to the openings. The first floor has corniced windows, while the outer left bay showcases projecting quadripartite windows. The attic features round-arched windows set within a Mansard roof.

On the entrance elevation, there is a replacement door in the penultimate bay to the outer left, accompanied by a narrow fanlight. A single window is centered at ground level, with another replacement door in the penultimate bay to the outer right, and a single window in the outer right bay. The projecting bay to the outer left has a quadripartite glazing row at each floor, while the remaining bays are regularly fenestrated on the first and second floors, with six attic windows evenly spaced. The windows are predominantly two-pane timber sash and case. The roof is a graded grey slate Mansard, featuring cast-iron brattishing and raised skews, with a rendered wallhead stack to the south and various circular flues.

The property is enclosed by a low coped red sandstone boundary wall along Argyle Street, with square-plan gatepiers flanking the entrances on either side, topped with pyramidal caps, and adorned with foliate cast-iron railings.
