This is a classical detached house located at 2 Doonholm Road in Ayr, dating from around 1800. It is two stories high with a three-bay main house and a two-bay single-storey wing. The exterior is rendered with painted margins and quoins, featuring a base course, a first-floor cill course, and an eaves course.
The northeast (entrance) elevation has a central entrance with a pedimented doorpiece supported by fluted Doric columns. It includes a finely detailed triglyph and metope entablature with mutule detailing on the pediment. The entrance features a timber door and a narrow letterbox fanlight, with a single window above on the first floor and single windows flanking both the ground and first floors. The wing to the right has two single windows.
On the southwest (rear) elevation, there is a central glazed timber door with a sidelight to the right, with a single window above on the first floor. The ground floor has flanking tripartite windows, and there are single windows on the first floor, along with two single windows in the wing to the left.
The southeast (side) elevation is blank, while the northwest (side) elevation features steps leading to a glazed timber door, two square windows above, and a single window to the left.
The windows are predominantly plate glass, with 4- and 12-pane timber sash and case designs. The roof is slate with stone skews, rooflights, corniced gablehead stacks, and circular cans. The property has cast-iron rainwater goods.
The interior was not seen in 1999.
