Description
Kirkconnell Lea is a large villa built around 1870, featuring two storeys and asymmetrical elevations with advanced gables. The exterior is constructed of bull-faced red ashlar with polished dressings, strings, corbelling, roll-mouldings, and margins. The villa showcases a variety of window openings, including round, segmental, and square-headed designs, which can be found singly or grouped, with some being canted or in square projections.
An octagonal turret, either full-height or corbelled at the outer angles, is topped with a corbel table at the eaves and has a facetted slate roof with a flat leaded cap. The north-facing gable includes a gabled porch in the east re-entrant angle and a west re-entrant turret entrance, which features cast-iron guards in front of first-floor round-arched windows. The twin gables of the lower service range face east and are complemented by bracketed eaves, simple barge-boards and framing, corniced stacks, and slate roofs.
The property is accessed through square red ashlar gatepiers that are linked by low quadrant walls, with wrought iron gates and railings completing the entrance.
