15 Crosbie Road, Troon

This is an early 20th-century asymmetrical, two-storey, four-bay Free Style gabled house. It is situated on Crosbie Road, Troon and has a single-storey rectangular garage block linked by a screen wall. The main house is arranged with a two-storey, gabled bay recessed to the left, and an engaged polygonal porch in the re-entrant angle.

The ground floor is constructed of squared and snecked stugged red sandstone, with polished sandstone dressings, while the first floor is whitewashed harl. The first floor slightly oversails, supported by overhanging timber bracketed eaves, and features sandstone skews. Rake-jointed quoins are visible at ground level, along with rake-jointed long and short surrounds to the windows on both floors. The windows incorporate sandstone mullions and sandstone transoms at ground level, with chamfered cills at ground and projecting cills at the first floor. The garage block is finished with whitewashed harl.

The west-facing elevation features a four-light window at both floors beneath a skewed gable offset to the left of centre. To the right is a five-light canted window at both floors, beneath a skewed gable with ball-shaped finials surmounting a scalloped parapet. A single-storey projection is recessed to the outer right, and a small single window is recessed at the first floor. There’s a small bipartite window at ground level in the bay recessed to the outer left, which is blind at the first floor. The polygonal porch has steps leading to a boarded timber door within an architraved, flattened Tudor-arch facing west, with a roll-moulded surround. A rectangular panel to the right of the door contains elaborate carving with foliate, scrolled and animal detailing. A decorative frieze of regularly spaced carved animals sits above, and a small single window is present in the bay to the right. A garage door is set in the gabled wing to the right, with bipartite and single windows above. A keystoned, round-arched opening is set within the screen wall to the left, and a garage door is centred in the skewed gabled wing to the outer left.

The majority of windows feature nine-pane upper and plate glass lower timber sash and case glazing, with a leaded bipartite window to the porch at the rear. The property has red tile roofs, architraved skews, corniced skewputts, and original rainwater goods. Sandstone cornices are present to the harled wallhead stacks, topped with terracotta cans.

The interior was not inspected in 1997.

Rubble sandstone walls enclose a rectangular sunken garden to the front, accessed by sandstone steps. A stepped, tooled rubble sandstone wall with polished coping encloses the site to the front, with timber railings between. Whitewashed harl, circular-plan piers with red sandstone conical caps and cast-iron gates create the entrance.
