Ashbank, Corsehill Banks, Stewarton

Ashbank is a two-storey, three-bay villa built around 1880, located at Corsehill Banks in Stewarton. The building features bowed, four-light bay windows on both the ground and first floors, with the advanced bay positioned to the right. The entrance elevation is constructed of light sandstone ashlar, while the other elevations are made of snecked rubble. Notable architectural details include a rustic base course, chamfered raised quoins, broad dentilled eaves, and raised plain architraves. The first-storey bay window has decorative carved apron panels with cartouches. To the left, there are bipartite windows with stone mullions. A porch is situated in the re-entrant angle, featuring a Corinthian column and a bracketed cornice. The entrance door is part-glazed timber, accompanied by sidelights and a fanlight above.

Most of the windows are replacement plate glass timber sash and case. The roof is shallow piended, covered with grey slates, and the bowed bay has a conical roof topped with an iron finial.

Inside, as observed in 2008, the villa has a good decorative interior with the original room layout largely intact. It includes a dog-leg timber staircase with timber balusters and banister, as well as a large, two-light decorative coloured glass stair window featuring floral designs. The interior also boasts six-panel round-arched timber doors with round-arched architraves, several marble chimneypieces, and decorative plaster cornicing.

The property is complemented by a pair of square-plan gatepiers that have a stepped base, nook shafts, pedimented copes, and ball finials.
