Woodstock Cottage, 47 Woodstock Street, Kilmarnock

This is a charming cottage, likely designed by J & RS Ingram around 1865. It is a rectangular, one-and-a-half-story building with three bays, featuring a prominent bay window and attic dormers, and single-bay wings on either side. The main front elevation is constructed of finely dressed red Ballochmyle ashlar, while the side elevations are of coursed rubble.

The south (principal) elevation features a central front door with a decorative chamfered surround, a cornice, and a lintel. To the left of the door is a long window. Above the left window, carved in red stone and highlighted with gold, is the name "WOODSTOCK COTTAGE". To the right of the door, a three-sided canted bay window projects forward with drip sills, and a low corniced parapet conceals the eaves. Flanking the main cottage are single-story, single-bay wings, each with a rectangular stone door surround leading to the rear of the property. A door has been inserted on the left wing, while the right wing has a timber door. The attic dormers are pedimented, featuring three-sided canted windows and lead aprons, all concealed behind a parapet gutter. A small, semi-circular window is located in the attic level.

The west elevation shows a gable end with an arched window in the attic; a projecting sill sits below the window and a downpipe runs down the wall adjacent to a blank section of the south wing's elevation. The north (rear) elevation was not visible during inspection in 2001. The east elevation also presents a gable end with a window in the attic and a door on the left leading to a passageway between the cottage and the adjacent house.

The windows are mostly four-pane timber sash and case windows. The canted bay window and dormers have two-pane timber sash and case windows. A four-pane arched sash and case window punctuates the west gablehead, and a semi-circular timber fanlight with glazing sits at the center of the roof. The front door is timber, with a lying-pane design, including margin panels in the upper part. The roof is covered in grey slate, with metal ridging, flashings, and valleys. The dormers also have grey slate roofs with slated cheeks and metal flashings. Painted wrought-iron rainwater goods are present, with a gutter to the main elevation hidden behind a low parapet. Stepped gablehead stacks rise from the building, each topped with a projecting red ashlar neck cope and three octagonal cans.

The interior of the cottage was not inspected in 2001. It is currently in residential use.

The front garden is enclosed by a low front wall constructed of coursed red sandstone ashlar, topped with chamfered rectangular copes. Painted, stepped wrought-iron gothic railings with spiked dog bars and finials run along the front of the side elevations. Square, red ashlar panelled corner piers with square cushioned caps mark the corners of the front garden. Further along the side, a multi-coloured stock brick wall is present, stepped to the right with flat ashlar copes, and with terracotta pottery segmental copes toward the center and rear.
