Description
14 Alloway Place in Ayr is a terrace of five houses built in the earlier 19th century, featuring two storeys with attics at the rear. The terrace consists of three- and four-bay houses, constructed with polished ashlar, which is painted on No 14, and rusticated at the ground floor. Architectural details include a vermiculated base course, a band course that runs parallel to the block-pediments of the doorpieces, a first-floor cill course, aprons, a cornice, and a blocking course.
The entrance elevation has steps leading to block-pedimented columned doorpieces at the penultimate bays of the mirrored pair of four-bay houses, Nos 10 and 11. These feature fluted columns, modillion cornices, and two-leaf timber doors, with a letterbox fanlight present only on No 11. The outer bays have single windows at the ground floor, while the inner bays contain two single windows. The first floor has regular fenestration. Steps also lead to the central doorpieces of the three-bay houses, Nos 12, 13, and 14, which have two-leaf timber doors (with a single door for No 12) and exterior letterbox fanlights, except for No 14. The ground floor has flanking single windows, and the first floor shows regular fenestration.
On the north side elevation, there is a timber door with a letterbox fanlight at the ground to the right of an enlarged gable, with three single windows to the left at ground level (the outer left window is infilled). The first floor has three single windows, including a central tripartite window at a lower height, with the outer left window also infilled. An attic window is present as well. The adjoining property, 1A Alloway Park, known as The Cottage, is not included in the listing.
The windows are predominantly timber sash and case, with plate glass. The north elevation features a 12-pane window at ground level, stained glass in the first-floor tripartite window, two-pane upper sashes at ground level for No 11, and a 12-pane window for No 13. The roof is made of grey slate, with stone skews, rooflights, coped stacks, and both circular and polygonal chimney cans.
The boundary walls have low ashlar copes along the east elevation.
