5 Barrhill Road, Gourock

5 Barrhill Road in Gourock is a two-storey subdivided villa built around 1900, featuring a corner tower. The exterior is made of cream sandstone, squared and snecked bull-faced rubble with polished dressings, and coursed rubble at the rear and side. It has a base course and a moulded cill course at the first floor of the main elevations. The eaves are overhanging and bracketed, with a dentilled cornice, and there are stacks with moulded coping.

On the northwest (front) elevation, there is a bay to the left of center that includes a roll-moulded round-arched keystoned doorway, which has a two-leaf panelled door and a plate glass fanlight. This is framed by a Corinthian columned doorpiece with heavy fluted corbels above, supporting a balcony that leads to a first-floor window with a parapet decorated with pierced quatrefoils. To the outer left, there is a two-storey canted window with chamfered reveals and a finialled piend roof. The windows to the right of center are regular. The outer right features a two-storey quadripartite bowed corner tower topped with a conical roof and an elaborate iron finial.

The southwest (Binnie Street) elevation has three bays with a secondary doorway, regular fenestration, and a wallhead stack over a blank bay to the left. The northeast elevation also has three bays with regular fenestration on the left and two wallhead stacks. The southeast (rear) elevation has an M-piended roof and a wallhead stack to the left, with a modern forestair leading to a secondary entrance at the first floor and irregular windows. There is a later single-storey extension to the right.

Some of the timber sash and case windows have plate glass glazing, but most have been replaced. The roof is covered with green slate, featuring metal flashings, red ridge tiles, and finials, along with four wallhead stacks. The eaves gutters are moulded.

The boundary walls consist of a low rubble wall with saddleback coping, which becomes taller on Binnie Street with semi-circular coping. The gatepiers are panelled with semi-circular pedimented caps facing Barrhill Road. Decorative railings are present but obscured by a hedge.
