2 Castle Cottage, Ardtornish Estate

1 Castle Cottage, located on the Ardtornish Estate, was designed by Samuel Barham in 1873. It consists of a pair of single-storey dwellings arranged in an H-plan, featuring a long six-bay front elevation facing southeast. The exterior is finished in rendered concrete. The outer bays on the southeast elevation are slightly advanced and each has a rectangular bay window topped with a piended roof, which is tucked beneath projecting bargeboarded gables. The flanks are simple and irregular, each with an entrance and consisting of four bays. The front windows are either two or three-light, made with wooden mullions and multi-pane glazing. A large central wallhead corniced stack rises from a slight projection in the centre of the elevation, complemented by a pair of corniced ridge stacks. The slate roofs have deep eaves and project outward to form a partially glazed canopy that links the outer bays, creating a shallow front verandah.
