Description
48 Newmarket Street in Ayr is a later 19th-century, two-storey and attic, four-bay tenement that is part of a terrace with a shop on the ground floor. The building is constructed of painted ashlar and features a cill course, cornice, and blocking course.
The southwest elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a central entrance leading to the shopfront on the ground floor. This includes a two-leaf glazed timber door with a letterbox fanlight above. There are additional entrances on the outer left and right: a single timber door on the left and a two-leaf glazed timber door on the right. Lamps are positioned at the center of the dies on both sides of the shopfront fascia. The first floor has regular fenestration, while there is a single dormer window to the left in the attic.
The first-floor windows are 24-pane timber sash and case, and the attic windows are 16-pane. The roof is covered with grey slate, featuring a mutual brick stack to the right and circular cans. The interior was not seen in 1998.
