Description
Whitrigg House is an early 19th-century farmhouse. It features Flemish bond brickwork set on a chamfered stone plinth, with rusticated stone quoins and a plain stone cornice. The roof is covered with Welsh slate and has brick chimney stacks. The house is two storeys high and has three bays. The entrance includes a panelled door topped with a radial fanlight, all within a pilastered open-pedimented doorcase. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, are framed by painted stone surrounds. There are adjoining outbuildings that have 20th-century windows, but these are not of interest.
