Ladyburn Manse, Main Street, Glenluce

Ladyburn Manse, located on Main Street in Glenluce, was designed by James Torrance in 1897. This two-storey, three-bay manse features a rubble exterior that is squared and snecked on the west elevation, complemented by red sandstone ashlar dressings. The ashlar margins have chamfered arrisses that stop before the cill on the west and north elevations, with bull-faced quoins that have a margin draft.

On the west elevation, the principal entrance is marked by a roll-moulded segmental-arched doorway at the center, which is topped by a heavily bracketed corniced canopy. The entrance includes a panelled door and a segmental-arched fanlight. The outer bays at the ground floor have canted windows with a cornice and blocking course, while the first floor features a central window and bipartite windows in the outer bays, all with segmental-arched lights.

The north elevation, facing Main Street, has a window to the outer right at the ground floor and two windows at the center on the first floor. The south elevation includes a window to the outer left at both the ground and first floors. The east elevation has a single-storey stone lean-to at the center, with a boarded door to the right of the north return, two windows facing east, and a window to the left of the south return, all featuring ashlar quoin strips.

The lean-to is cut out around the base of a round-arched stair window located at the center of the first floor. The fenestration is regularly arranged in the outer bays, except for a smaller window that is out of line to the left in the right bay at the first floor. The building has modern glazing, but the original margin-pane glazing remains in the stair window. The roof features coped skews and gabletted skewputts on the west side, with ashlar-dressed gablehead stacks on the north and south. The roof is covered with small purple slates, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods with octagonal cans.

The property is accessed through rendered flat-pyramidal-capped gatepiers and double-leaf wrought-iron gates, each adorned with a small crested shield.
