32, 34 Main Street, Ratho

32 and 34 Main Street in Ratho is an early 19th-century house, possibly using some re-used materials. It is a two-storey, five-bay, nearly symmetrical rectangular building that has been subdivided. The structure is made of squared whinstone with droved cream sandstone margins and quoins, featuring a base course and an eaves cornice.

On the south (main) elevation, there is a narrow door located off-centre to the right, which is a deep-set, four-panelled door with a honeycomb fanlight above. To the left of the door are two windows, and immediately to the right is a small later window, followed by two more windows to the right, with the inner window being blinded. The first floor has windows that are regularly spaced.

The north (rear) elevation is asymmetrical, with five bays at the ground level and eight bays at the first floor. There is a rendered forestair leading to an upper door at the centre, with three windows to the left and four windows to the right.

On the east elevation, there is a blocked window at the ground level on the left and a window at the first floor. Additionally, there is a bricked-up gablehead window and a bricked-up door at the centre.

The west elevation features a window at the first floor on the outer right. The windows throughout the building include 12-pane glazing in sash and case windows at the ground level, and 8-pane windows above in the two left bays, with 4-pane sash and case windows in the three bays to the right at the first floor. A similar variety of windows is seen on the rear elevation. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are ashlar copings on the skews, along with scrolled skewputts that have a central cable moulding. The gablehead stacks are corniced.

The boundary walls consist of a low whinstone rubble retaining wall with slab coping at the front and a taller wall at the rear, which is also made of rubble with semi-circular coping.
