77 London Road, Kilmarnock

77 London Road in Kilmarnock is a classical villa built around 1870 by James Ingram. This two-storey, three-bay building has a shallow L-plan and is constructed from ashlar sandstone with polished dressings, although it is now painted. The ground floor features balustraded bays, and there are base, band, and first-floor sill courses on the northeast and southeast sides. The window margins are also painted, and the eaves are overhanging with bracketed cornices.

On the northeast elevation, the central bay has a door set within a portico supported by paired Roman Doric columns on the outer sides, with the right-hand pair engaging the wall. Each pair has a matching single column on the inner side, and there are engaged pilasters at the rear of the portico, all supporting a moulded cornice and a balustraded parapet. Above the portico, there is a single window on the first floor, with its sill concealed by the balustrade. The left bay features a tripartite window on the ground floor within a shallow, balustraded projection, and a plain window on the first floor, also with a sill concealed by the balustrade. The right bay is advanced and gablet-shaped, featuring a canted, three-light balustraded bay window in the center, with a tripartite window above that has a bracketed triangular pediment over the central light. An ornate stone finial with a spike terminates the gablehead.

The southeast elevation has a central window with a band course and sill course. The first floor features three regularly placed bays topped with a bracketed cornice. The southwest elevation was not visible in 2001. The northwest elevation has ground floor fenestration concealed behind a coursed ashlar wall, while the first floor has a single window in the outer bays and paired narrower windows in the center, also topped with a bracketed cornice.

Most of the windows are two-pane timber sash and case with horned upper sashes. The roof is piended and covered with grey slate. The rainwater goods are painted cast iron, with gutters concealed by a decorative bracketed cornice and downpipes located on the side elevations. The wallhead stacks are harled and painted on the northeast and southwest sides, resting on slightly wider base courses, with plain stone neck copes on top. The stacks are elaborately decorated with bi-coloured cans, mostly featuring diamond patterns and battlemented tops, while a taller plain stone roofline stack is located at the center of the house, also with plain neck copes and shorter, later-added cans.

The interior of the villa has been subdivided into four flats, but it was not seen in 2001.
