Description

141-145 Titchfield Street in Kilmarnock is an early 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay rectangular building that was originally a classical dwelling house and is situated on a corner site. There is a two-storey, two-bay wing attached at the rear. The exterior is made of coursed rubble that is harled and painted, featuring painted long and short quoins at the corner angle, as well as a base and eaves course. The roof is skew gabled with plain putts.

On the principal (east) elevation, there is a centrally placed door that leads to first-floor accommodation. To the left, there is a shop with a central door flanked by squared windows of similar height. To the right, another shop has a door on the left and a single window of similar height on the right. The first floor has three regularly placed bays.

The north elevation features a gable on the left with a later squared shop window on the ground floor and an advertising hoarding above the cornice. There is a smaller original window on the first floor to the left, with the rest of the gable being blind. The side of the rear gable on the right has a low door on the ground floor to the left, a semi-blind window to the right, and a window on the first floor to the right.

The west (rear) elevation is not visible as of 2001. The south elevation adjoins the Tudor Inn at 147 Titchfield Street.

The building has replacement single-pane windows with false astragals and later 16-pane timber shop windows on the ground floor retail units, along with metal roller security shutters for the newsagent shop. The roof is piended with grey slate, featuring metal ridging, flashing, and valleys. The rainwater goods are painted cast iron, with a shared downpipe with the Tudor Inn and another downpipe on the Douglas Street elevation. There is a painted brick stack on the north gablehead, with projecting brick neck copes and a pair of rounded plain cans.

The interior has been updated on the ground floor to create two modern shop premises, while the first floor remains residential and is accessed from the central door, which was not seen as of 2001.
