35 Dundonald Road, Kilmarnock

This is a circa 1885 Gothic cottage, likely designed by J & RS Ingram. It is a detached, two-and-a-half storey building with three bays, and a single-storey recessed porch attached to the left side and a later single-storey recessed garage to the right. The exterior features long and short quoins, a painted base course, and entrance details. Windows have chamfered arrises, roll-moulded lintels, and sloped sills. The roof has stepped moulded skewes with moulded kneeler putts.

The principal (southeast) elevation features a central entrance with deeply chamfered arrises, moulded corbels supporting the lintel, a panelled timber door with a rectangular fanlight above, and a stepped hoodmould with scrolled label stops. Bipartite windows are located in the outer bays. A single window sits within the gable to the right, with an extended dentilled sill course and scrolled label stops. The central gable is stepped and arched, with quatrefoil detail and a rectangular plain plaque partially obscuring a dormer window. The wallhead gable to the left has projecting arched side bays, an extended dentilled sill course with scrolled label stops, and squared label stops supporting rainwater goods.

On the southwest elevation, a single-storey stone lean-to extends from the ground floor and features a rectangular door surround with chamfered arrises, a framed and lined single-leaf door, and sits beneath a half-piended roof covered with timber and glazed panels. The gable of the main house rises above.

The rear (northwest) elevation was not visible in 2001. The northeast elevation is largely obscured by a modern, single-storey, stone-clad garage. A window is visible in the left bay of the ground floor of the main house, above which the gablehead rises.

Original two-pane timber sash and case windows remain, with arched upper sashes to the returns of the left dormer. A two-pane timber casement window is present in the central dormer. The lean-to porch has plain glazing. The main house is covered by a piended grey slate roof with stepped bands of fish-scale detail. Dormers have plain piended slate roofs. The roof is finished with aluminium ridging and lead flashings and valleys. Painted cast-iron rainwater goods are partially concealed behind ornate brackets. Chimneys are constructed from coursed ashlar with projecting neck copes and three to four hexagonal cans.

The interior was not inspected in 2001.

Low, coursed ashlar boundary walls with stepped pyramidal copes enclose the property. Squared ashlar corner piers have stepped pyramidal caps.
