Description
Whitrigg House and Park Gate comprise two houses built as a row in the late 18th or early 19th century. They have painted stucco walls with painted V-jointed quoins on a chamfered plinth. The roof is of graduated greenslate with banded, cement-rendered chimney stacks. The houses are two storeys, each with three bays, sharing a common roof. The Park Gate, on the left, has a central, top-glazed, panelled door set within a prostyle Tuscan porch. Sash windows are present throughout, with glazing bars on the ground floor windows, and upper floor windows in painted stone surrounds. Whitrigg House has a central panelled door within a prostyle pilastered porch. Former stables adjoining the Park Gate on the left are not included in the listing. The group value of this building lies in its contribution to the architectural characteristics of the area.
