Description
10 Bedford Place in Alloa is a former parish hall, now residential, designed by William Kerr and John Gray of John Melvin and Son in 1926. This two-storey building has a rectangular plan and features a harled exterior with an ashlar sandstone doorway, window surrounds, and margins. A prominent slated ventilator spire is visible, along with a squared snecked rubble base course. There is a large modern extension at the rear.
On the north elevation, there is a two-leaf timber-panelled door set in a slightly advanced ashlar sandstone central doorway, which has channeled quoins and a carved burning bush motif above it. The doorway is framed by a shouldered moulded architrave. A bracketed stone balcony with diamond-pattern railings is located above a full-length window on the first floor, and a date stone indicating 1926 is positioned at the eaves.
The east and west elevations consist of two bays for the main block, with one upper window blocked up. The rear extension is two bays deep and features modern open stairs leading to the first-floor entrance.
The south elevation displays symmetrical fenestration, although the window sizes vary. It includes a central door with a round-arched fanlight and a full-length window above. The ground floor has 24-pane wide-astragalled sash and case windows, while the first floor has 16-pane windows. Some modern glazing is present on the side elevations. The roof is a swept piended slate design with overhanging eaves and exposed rafters.
The property is enclosed by low stone boundary walls topped with undecorated cast iron railings, and there are square-plan gate piers with obelisk capstones.
