Description
2 Craigie Avenue in Ayr is a late 18th century single-storey, three-bay former gate lodge. It is constructed from painted sandstone rubble, with some areas droved. The building features a base course, eaves course, cornice, blocking course, and pilaster angles.
On the north elevation, there is a central doorpiece with a pediment and pilasters, featuring a round-arched, keystoned entrance with a glazed timber door and fanlight. Flanking this are single windows that are architraved and corniced.
The west elevation, facing Gordon Terrace, has an over-arch leading to a Venetian window in an advanced pilastered return to the left, with blind sidelights. To the right, there are single and bipartite windows in a recessed section.
The east side elevation includes a bipartite window in a recessed section to the left and an over-arch to a Venetian window in an advanced pilastered return to the right, also with blind sidelights.

The gatepiers consist of square-plan structures at the central pedestrian entrance, with an iron gate. The entrance elevation features a painted waved wall, and there is a coped rubble wall with railings along Gordon Terrace.
