55 St Meddans Street, Troon

This is a late 19th century former manse, later subdivided in the 20th century and accessed from both the front and rear. The building has an asymmetrical design, extending over two storeys and three bays, with Gothic detailing. A gabled bay is set forward on the left, and a single-storey garage addition is located on the right. The exterior is largely constructed from squared and snecked tooled rubble sandstone, with polished, lightly droved sandstone dressings, and random rubble sandstone on the sides. A raised base course and a stepped cill course are visible on the outer left, alongside architraved skews. Openings are framed by chamfered surrounds and cills, with sandstone mullions.

The south-east elevation, the main entrance front, features a centrally positioned timber panelled door, set within a chamfered, four-centred arched surround. Above the door is an engraved fanlight and a stepped, architraved hoodmould, with a part-glazed timber panelled vestibule door behind. A pointed-arch bipartite window breaks through the eaves at first floor level, with a blind, pointed-arch opening centred in the finialed gable above. To the right, there is a single ground floor window with a foliate-detailed hoodmould, and another window breaking the eaves at first floor, above a blind rectangular opening in a finialed gable. A three-light canted window is present on both floors within the projecting bay to the left, again topped with a blind, finialed gable. A garage door is located at the far right.

The north-west rear elevation includes a lean-to addition set off-centre to the right, a modern entrance door on the return to the right, and a small single window at first floor. A single window is present at both floors in the bay to the left. Further single windows are located at both floors in the bays to the outer left and right, again with windows breaking the eaves at the first floor; blind, pointed-arch openings are centred in the finialed gables above. A two-leaf timber door and a single window are included in the garage on the outer left.

The windows are predominantly two- and four-pane timber sash and case. The roof is covered in grey slate with decorative banding, raised skews and moulded skewputts. Cast-iron rainwater goods are present. Corniced copes adorn buttressed apex stacks, topped with predominantly octagonal cans. The interior was not inspected in 1997.

A low coped rubble wall encloses the site to the front. Painted square-plan piers with pyramidal caps flank the entrance, supporting cast-iron pedestrian and vehicular gates.
