Cottage/Stable/Slaughterhouse, Craegard, Corrie, Arran

This is a late 19th-century, single-storey and attic, gabled villa situated at Craegard, Corrie, on the Isle of Arran. The villa is constructed from snecked and bull-faced red rubble sandstone, with the gables treated as half-timbered and rendered, the stonework painted to resemble timber. It has a grey slate roof. Features include a base course, timber sash and case windows (mostly with 2 panes at the bottom and multiple panes at the top), bracketted eaves, exposed collar and post to the apex of the finialled gables, plain bargeboards, a corniced ashlar ridge stack with squat cream cans, and cast-iron rainwater goods. The eastern (entrance) elevation has a door to a recessed single-storey bay on the right and a principal gabled bay to the left, featuring a bipartite window at a splayed left angle and another bipartite window to the upper floor. A further window is set into a recessed single-storey bay to the far left. The north elevation displays a gable to the right with single and bipartite windows to the ground floor and a bipartite window to the upper floor. A slightly advanced single-storey gable is to the left, also with a bipartite window. The south elevation has the principal gable centrally, with a tripartite window to the ground floor and a bipartite window to the upper floor, accompanied by a single-storey gable to the right, featuring a window. A lean-to and later porch are present on the left return elevation. The interior exhibits little alteration, retaining boarded walls and ceilings, original chimney pieces, some stencilled doors, and an encaustic tile floor in the entrance porch.

Adjacent to the villa is a single-storey, L-plan cottage/stable/slaughterhouse constructed from red sandstone rubble and featuring a piended slate roof with a timber lean-to at the rear. The building is characterised by a window to the centre; a cottage door is positioned to the right, a stable door to the left, and a window to the right return elevation. A gable is advanced to the left, with a window at the gable, and access to the slaughterhouse is provided via a door on the right return, alongside two windows to the left return. Various rooflights and vents and two chimney stacks are present. The stable interior retains original setts and timber trevises. The slaughterhouse interior is painted red at dado level, with a whitewashed upper section, and retains fittings related to animal slaughter, including ring ties, hooks, a balance, and various tools. The group value extends to the boundary wall.
