Description
The stables at Castlemilk, possibly designed by David Bryce around 1867, form a large courtyard block with a free-standing octagonal structure that may have served as a game larder, along with detached cottages to the west and north. The buildings are constructed of bull-faced red ashlar with polished dressings, featuring sash windows that are mostly small-paned, and roofs covered with graded slates.
The courtyard block has a symmetrical south front facing the driveway, highlighted by a tall gabled center that includes a pend, buttresses, and a large ventilator above. The flanking bays contain single windows at ground level and broad-eaved small dormers, while crow-stepped gables add to the architectural interest. The other elevations are similarly styled, with some featuring triangular loft ventilators.
The octagonal structure is two stories high, equipped with slit ventilators and a curved forestair, topped with a facetted steep roof.
The pair of single-storey, three-bay cottages to the north share a common roofline and have bipartite windows. A separate detached cottage, also three bays, features ground floor bipartites, a central porch, wallhead stone dormers, and crow-stepped gables.
