Description
1 Doonholm Road in Alloway, Ayr, is a two-storey house built in 1849 by Clarke & Bell, featuring three main bays and a single-storey wing. The exterior is constructed of stugged rubble and includes a central moulded string course and square-headed, chamfered window openings.
The southwest elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a columned porch leading to a central gabled bay. This bay features a modillion cornice and a glazed timber door, with a single window above on the first floor. To the outer left, there are single windows at both the ground and first floors of an advanced gable. On the right side, there are also single windows at both levels, with the first-floor window breaking the eaves to form a gablet. A single window is located at the re-entrant angle to the left. The single-storey section to the right has two single windows and a glazed timber door with a letterbox fanlight, along with an adjoining eight-bay single-storey garage section.
The northwest elevation, facing Alloway, has two bays. It features single windows at both the ground and first floors of the gabled bay on the left, while the bay on the right has bipartite windows at both levels, with the first-floor window also breaking the eaves to create a gablet topped with a finial.
The southeast and northeast elevations were not visible in 1999. The building predominantly has plate glass timber sash and case windows, a slate roof with overlapping slab stone skews, skewputts, corniced gablehead and pitch stacks, and circular and polygonal cans. The rainwater goods are made of cast iron.
The property is enclosed by stone gatepiers for both pedestrian and vehicular entrances, with an iron gate for the pedestrian entrance and a timber gate for the vehicular entrance. A coped boundary wall surrounds the site.
The interior was not seen in 1999.
