Description
27-29 Newmarket Street in Ayr is an early 19th-century, two-storey building with an attic, designed as a two-bay tenement featuring a shop on the ground floor. The exterior is made of painted, coursed sandstone and includes a base course, a cornice above the shopfront, an eaves course, and strip quoins. The first-floor windows have painted margins.
On the northwest elevation, there is a recessed glazed timber door on the outer right, with an entrance to the right of the shop on the left, which has a modern glazed door and a letterbox fanlight. The shop window is to the left, and there is regular window spacing on the first floor. The attic features a central piended dormer.
The first-floor windows are four-pane timber sash and case, while the attic has plate glass windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a mutual brick stack on the left and a mutual rubble stack on the right, both with circular cans.
The interior was not seen in 1998.
