St Margaret's, High Street, Ayton

St Margaret's is a house located on High Street in Ayton, likely dating from the late 18th century, with some later additions. This symmetrical, two-storey, three-bay house originally has a rectangular plan and forms the end of a terrace. It features a jerkin-headed porch at the front and various single-storey additions at the rear. The front is constructed of sandstone rubble with tooled and painted sandstone dressings, while the sides and rear are rendered. The porch is whitewashed and there are notable architectural details such as an eaves course, rusticated quoins, long and short surrounds to openings, and projecting cills.

On the northeast elevation, there is a timber panelled door with flanking side-lights set within a single-storey porch that projects at the centre. The ground floor has single windows in bays that are recessed to the outer left and right, and there are single windows in all bays on the first floor.

The southeast elevation features the original two-bay block on the right, with single windows in both bays at ground level, and various single-storey additions to the left.

The southwest elevation has projecting single-storey additions that obscure the ground floor bays. There are single windows on the first floor and canted dormers in the outer left and right bays.

The windows predominantly feature four-pane glazing in timber sash and case styles. The roof is covered with grey slate and has tiled ridging, with stone-coped skews. There is a brick-built apex stack on the southeast side and a mutual sandstone ridge stack on the northwest side, along with various circular flues. The property also has cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 1998. The site is enclosed by a low coped sandstone wall at the front and a rubble-coped, rubble wall at the rear.
