5 Newmarket Street, Ayr

5 Newmarket Street in Ayr is an early 19th-century, three-storey, five-bay tenement featuring shopfronts on the ground floor. The building is constructed of squared, coursed sandstone and has a cill course beneath the first-floor windows, along with surrounds for the first and second-floor windows.

The northwest elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a recessed timber door in the center with a letterbox fanlight above. To the left, there is a corniced shopfront with a modern glazed door and letterbox fanlight, alongside a shop window. On the right, there is a bowed corniced shopfront with a central two-leaf timber door and flanking windows. The first and second floors have regular fenestration, with a blind central bay.

The first and second floors feature plate glass timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a low rendered wallhead stack at the center, with brick stacks on the outer left and right, each topped with circular cans.

The interiors were not seen in 1998.
