Craegard, Corrie, Arran

Craegard is a late 19th-century, single-storey and attic gabled villa situated in Corrie, on the Isle of Arran. The villa is constructed of snecked and bull-faced red rubble sandstone, with the gables appearing half-timbered due to rendered sections painted to resemble timber. It has a grey slate roof. Architectural details include a base course, timber sash and case windows, mostly with two panes at the bottom and multiple panes at the top, bracketed eaves, exposed collar and post detailing at the apex of the finialled gables, plain bargeboards, a corniced ashlar ridge stack with squat cream cans, and cast-iron rainwater goods.

The east-facing entrance elevation features a door to a recessed single-storey bay to the right, and the principal gabled bay to the left with a bipartite window set at a splayed left angle, and another bipartite window to the upper floor. A further window is located in a recessed single-storey bay to the far left. The north elevation has a gable to the right with single and bipartite windows to the ground floor and a bipartite window to the upper floor, alongside a slightly advanced single-storey gable with a bipartite window. The south elevation presents the principal gable centrally, incorporating a tripartite window to the ground floor and a bipartite window to the upper floor. A single-storey gable is located to the right, with a window. A lean-to and a later porch addition are present on the left return elevation.

The interior of the villa remains largely unaltered, featuring boarded walls and ceilings, original chimney pieces, some stencilled doors, and an encaustic tile floor within the entrance porch.

A single-storey, L-plan cottage/stable/slaughterhouse is built of red sandstone rubble and has a piended slate roof, with a timber lean-to to the rear. It includes a window to the centre of the main bay, a cottage door to the right, a stable door to the left, and a window to the right return elevation. An advanced gable features a window at its apex. A door to the slaughterhouse is located on the right return, and two windows are present on the left return. Various rooflights and vents are also present, along with two stacks. The interior of the stable retains original setts and timber trevises. The slaughterhouse has a red painted dado, with whitewashed walls above, and features various fittings related to animal slaughtering, including ring ties, hooks, a balance, and assorted tools. The property includes a boundary wall.
