Description
The Kyle and Carrick District Council Offices, located at 30 Miller Road in Ayr, is a villa built in the later 19th century, with some later additions. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure featuring a single-storey wing on the left. The building is constructed of ashlar stone, with a channelled finish on the wing. Notable architectural details include a base course, timber bracketed eaves, and raised quoins. The outer bays have barleysugar mullions, stylised Corinthian capitals, a dentilled dividing cornice, and raised moulded panels above the first-floor windows.
On the south elevation, there is a central entrance porch with coupled columns, fluted columns, and Corinthian capitals. The porch features a dentilled cornice and pilasters flanking a keyblocked entrance with a timber door. Above this, there is a balustraded parapet and a shouldered first-floor window aligned above. The ground and first floors of the canted outer bays have regular fenestration, with a bipartite window in the recessed wing to the left.
The east side elevation has five bays arranged in a 3-2 grouping. It features regular fenestration at both the ground and first floors, with three recessed bays to the left, except for the entrance on the outer right, which includes a glazed door, sidelights, and a deep letterbox fanlight. The advanced section to the right has tripartite windows at both levels, with a consoled balcony at the first floor that breaks the eaves. There are single windows at the ground and first floors of the bay to the left, and a round-arched first-floor window that also breaks the eaves.
The building has plate glass timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with wallhead and pitch stacks, and both circular and polygonal chimney cans.
The interior was not seen in 1998. The site is enclosed by square-plan corniced gatepiers to the outer left, which support a two-leaf timber gate, along with an additional single timber gate to the right. A low coped boundary wall surrounds the property.
