38 Bridge Street, Rothesay, Bute

38 Bridge Street in Rothesay, Bute, is a house dating from the earlier to mid 19th century that was refurbished in 1990. This symmetrical, two-storey building with a basement features a plain classical style and has been subdivided into four separate flats. The exterior is constructed of cherry-cocked black and brown whin rubble with painted margins. It has a raised base course, a lintel course beneath the corniced eaves, and a blocking course. The building includes pilastered quoins and droved long and short rubble surrounds to its openings, along with a pilastered entrance. The sides are finished in random rubble, and there is a modern rendered forestair at the centre.

On the entrance elevation, there is a stair leading to a replacement door that is centred at the ground level. This door is topped with a plate glass fanlight and is surrounded by a doorpiece that includes flanking pilasters, a plain frieze, a block pediment, and a raised keystone. There are single windows at ground level in the outer left and right bays, and single windows in all bays on the first floor.

The north side elevation features single windows on both floors in the bay to the right, while there is a blind bay to the left. The south side elevation has single windows offset to the left of centre at both the ground and first floors.

The building has 12-pane timber sash and case windows and a grey slate roof with raised skews. The apex stacks on the north and south sides are whitewashed harl, although the cans are missing.

Inside, the property has been converted for use as four separate dwellings. The boundary walls include a low coped random rubble wall along Bridge Street and a wall at the front that is part rendered and part red-brick.
