Description

This building, located at 10 Loanhead Street in Kilmarnock, is a two-storey, three-bay rectangular villa designed in the Glasgow style by Gabriel Andrew of Andrew & Newlands around 1904. It features coursed, polished red Ballochmyle ashlar and has projecting squared and canted bay windows.

On the northwest elevation, the central entrance has a door with a moulded sculpted cornice and a slightly inset panelled door topped with a rectangular fanlight. To the right, there is a three-bay canted bay window with a corniced parapet above. To the left, an advanced double-height bay includes a rectangular three-light bay window at the ground floor with a corniced parapet. The first floor has a tripartite window to the left, with an eaves course leading to a shaped parapet, a single window with a projecting sill at the center, and a bipartite window to the right. To the left of the building, there is a former coach entrance that has been infilled with a single-storey flat-roofed garage featuring a painted metal roller door.

The northeast elevation's ground floor is concealed by a late 20th-century flat-roofed garage, while the first floor is blind with a central shaped timpany gable and a small inset stack above, along with overhanging eaves to the left. The southeast elevation has not been seen since 2001, and the southwest elevation is also blind, featuring a wallhead stack.

The boundary walls consist of low red ashlar walls with saddle-backed coping, angled to flank the entrance steps, which terminate in stops with ball finials. The building has replacement PVCu glazing with a two-pane design, where the lower pane is horizontally hinged and the upper pane is fixed. The roof is piended with grey slate and slightly splayed overhanging eaves, adorned with terracotta ridge tiles. The painted cast-iron rainwater goods are partially concealed under the overhanging eaves and behind a decorative parapet. A tall red brick wallhead stack is supported by a wrought-iron bar and features a tall plain terracotta can, inset within the timpany gable, with a projecting moulded neck cope.

Inside, some original timber work remains, including skirting boards and panelled doors, and the original room layout is preserved.
