Description
This early 19th century house at 2 Barns Street in Ayr is a two-storey building with an attic, featuring three bays and forming the end of a terrace. It is constructed from sandstone rubble and includes relieving arches above the ground floor openings, an eaves course, a cornice, a blocking course, and strip quoining on the left side only. The openings have painted margins.
On the south (entrance) elevation, there is a central doorpiece with a cavetto splayed design, leading up to a timber door with a letterbox fanlight above. There is a single window directly above the door on the first floor, with flanking single windows on both the ground and first floors. The attic features two piended dormers on the outer right and left. Additionally, there is an exterior entrance within the rubble wall to the outer left.
The house has four-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, stone skews, coped stacks, and circular cans. The interior was not seen in 1998.
