Treesbank House Stables, Ayr Road, Kilmarnock

2-storey elongated U-plan stable block. Stugged, square rubble with red sandstone dressings. Eaves course and plain skewed gables.

The stables are survivors from a predecessor of the present Treesbank House (listed separately). Treesbank Mansion was originally built circa 1672 and owned and added to by subsequent generations of the Campbell family. The house it now serves was built in 1926 and is based on a mixture of English vernacular and architectural movements from America. It was designed for Gavin Morton of BMK carpet manufacturers (Blackwood and Morton, Kilmarnock). (Historic Scotland)
