Description
The building is a laundry located at Castlemilk, likely designed by architect David Bryce around 1865. It features a long, 7-bay structure that extends west from the rear wall of a 3-bay cottage, arranged in a T-plan. The design incorporates Scots Baronial details and is a single storey with attics. The exterior is constructed of stugged red ashlar with polished dressings, crow-stepped gables, and coped end stacks. It has small-paned glazing and is roofed with graded slates.
The laundry's south elevation is symmetrical, featuring tall openings and a central door, with windows in the bays and gabled, louvred attic ventilators on either long wall. Most of the north-facing windows have pedimented dormer heads.
The cottage has an off-centre gabled porch on the east side, with attic windows in the outer bays that break through the eaves and have gabletted dormer heads. There is a ground floor slit opening in the right bay, and the cottage features sash windows. To the south of the laundry, there is a drying green with rows of cast-iron clothes-poles.
