Several buildings on or directly adjacent to Annick Road carry formal heritage protection. Here's what's known about each:
Annick Lodge
The principal historic house on the road. Built for Captain Alexander Montgomerie on the site of the medieval Pearston Hall. Neo-classical design with Corinthian columns, sculptured urns, curved screen walls with ball finials, and a Victorian conservatory. The interior retains good 19th century decoration and the original staircase with turned balusters. Category A status puts it in the top tier of Scotland's historic buildings.
Gateway, Annick Lodge
The listed description reads: "Square piers; rusticated painted stone; ornamental urns; low curved screen walls." These gate piers at the western approach to Annick Lodge date from the 17th century — making them older than the current house itself. They are a rare surviving feature from the earlier estate layout.
18 Annick Road
An earlier-to-mid 19th century, 2-storey, 3-bay, rectangular-plan house. Built of squared and snecked sandstone, harled at the sides and painted all round. Features a central entrance door with a later brick-built porch (piend-roofed with segment-arched openings), ashlar cills, painted margins, and tooled wall finish. The roof is grey slate with skews and gablehead stacks. 4-pane timber frame windows survive at first floor to the rear. A rubble stone boundary wall with coping runs along Mill Road, and a later brick dwarf wall faces Annick Road.
Mayflower, 11 Annick Road
One of the historic houses on the road, granted Category C listing for its local architectural interest. The name "Mayflower" evokes the area's maritime connections through the Montgomerie naval family.
Bridge, Annick Water, Annicklodge Mains
The listed description reads: "Single stone arch spanning Annick Water; parapets narrowed in centre — circa 1800, arch probably rebuilt." This historic bridge carries an unclassified public road over the Annick Water at the Annick Lodge estate, connecting the old policies to the surrounding farmland.

The private houses at 11 and 18 Annick Road are residential properties, and no public photographs of them currently appear in heritage databases or photo libraries.
