Description
40 Newmarket Street in Ayr is an earlier 19th century, two-storey and attic, five-bay tenement building that features shops on the ground floor. The exterior is finished in painted ashlar and includes a cornice above the shopfronts, a cornice at the top of the building, and a blocking course. The first-floor windows are framed with architraves.
On the southwest elevation, there are two shopfronts at ground level. The entrance to the shop on the left has a two-leaf timber door and a central shop window, while the entrance to the shop on the right features a glazed timber door with flanking shop windows. The first floor has regular window placement, except for a blind window in the penultimate bay on the left. There is a single piended dormer in the attic on the left side.
The windows are plate glass timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate and has coped stacks with circular and polygonal chimney cans.
The interiors were not seen in 1998.
