Broom Lodge, 71 Ayr Road, Broom, Newton Mearns

Broom Lodge is a stable and coach-house block from the early to mid 19th century located at 71 Ayr Road, Broom, Newton Mearns. The main elevation faces the driveway and features one storey of ashlar stone with advanced ends and an elaborate central entry leading to the courtyard. There is a blocking course with a slate roof behind, along with blind round arched lancets and doors at the ends topped with block cornices. The main carriage entry is distinguished by arched voussoirs, impost bands, and large six-panel doors, which are flanked by panelled pilasters that extend through the main cornice to a block pediment. One window bay has a similar design on the return flanks, while the rest of the outer elevation is plain, with an outshot range facing the main road. The courtyard is partly occupied by later sheds, and on the entrance side, the stabling area retains original wooden stalls supported by cast-iron columns with acanthus capitals and fretted arched plates. The south range of the building contains dwelling accommodation.
