Statement of Interest

Pair of traditional cottages occupying a prominent position at the junction of Main Street, Lugton Road, Newmill Road and Station Road. The cottages were not built at the same time, as is evident from the different building styles (No. 4 has a base course and quoins, which No. 2 does not). No. 2 is probably the elder. The bipartite windows were probably inserted in the 1890s. No. 4 was originally L-plan with a small wing extending back from the rear gable.
