Description

Auchenbrae is a two-storey house and former shop built in the later 19th century. The structure is made of painted rubble with painted margins. The south elevation features five bays on the ground floor, arranged as one bay, one bay, and three bays. There is a door to the left of center, which has a modern timber pedimented doorcase, a double-leaf boarded door, and a bathroom-glazed fanlight above. To the left of the door is a window, and to the right, there are three windows, including one that was formerly a shop window and another that was originally a door to the shop. The first floor has a window over each of the three bays.

On the east elevation, there is a window to the right at ground floor level and a window to the left at the first floor, with a moulded panel below that indicates the location of a former shop sign.

The north elevation features a tall stair window to the right of center at the first floor, with a square window to the left and additional windows to both the left and right. There is a window to the right at ground floor level. An outbuilding with a flat roof is attached to the left and center, which includes a door to the right and two windows in the center and left facing north, as well as a window on the west return.

The west elevation has a lean-to structure attached to the left and center, featuring a door to the north and windows to the west and south.

The building has modern glazing, with margin-pane glazing on the stair window. There are wallhead stacks at the center of the east and west elevations. The roof is covered with small purple slates and features decorative cast-iron gutter fixtures and octagonal cans.

To the northeast, there is a single-storey former stable that has been converted for residential use, with its outer wall incorporated into a rubble boundary wall along the road.

The boundary walls consist of a rubble wall to the east.
