Description
73 Main Street in Ratho, Edinburgh, is a pair of terraced cottages built in the mid 19th century. The cottages are single storey with a rectangular plan and consist of five bays. They are constructed from coursed, squared whinstone, featuring stugged cream sandstone margins, chamfered arrises, quoins, raised cills, and a sandstone eaves band.
The main elevation shows No 73 on the left, which has two bays, a boarded door to the right with a letterbox fanlight above, and a window to the left. No 75, to the right, has a symmetrical design with a modern door at the centre, a narrow letterbox fanlight above, and flanking windows.
No 73 has a plate glass sash and case window, while No 75 features 8-pane sash and case windows. The roof is covered in grey slate, with ashlar coping at the skews and coped sandstone apex stacks, including a central ridge stack.
The boundary wall is low and made of rubble, topped with semi-circular coping that sweeps upwards at the outer right and left.
