Description
This property, built by J & J Armour of Irvine in 1907, is a single-storey, asymmetrical Scots Baronial cemetery lodge and waiting room. It features a gabled and crowstepped design with a distinctive entrance porch that rises above the wallhead. The exterior is finished in roughcast cement with smooth margins and includes canted bay windows. There is a later flat-roofed extension to the southwest.
The entrance porch has a tall, corbelled parapet set in a re-entrant angle to the northeast. It bears a carved shield with the date 1907 above and a round oculus window to the left. The waiting room extension to the southwest is also single-storey and has a slatted timber bench around two walls. On the southwest exterior wall, there is a flat, round-arched cast-iron drinking fountain with a semicircular basin and an attached drinking vessel.
The property has predominantly replacement non-traditional windows and doors, with grey slates on the roof, gablehead and ridge stacks, and beak skewputts. The interior, as seen in 2008, retains a largely original room plan with some cornicing.
To the east of the house, there is an imposing set of red sandstone carriage gatepiers topped with ball finials, along with flanking pedestrian gatepiers and convex quadrants that have additional gatepiers. The base courses and highly decorative capitals feature shields. The decorative iron gates display curvilinear patterns, and there are iron railings along the low quadrant walls and a tall boundary wall to the street, topped with red saddleback coping.
