Description
Beechgrove, located at 161 Main Street in Glenluce, is a two-storey building dating from around 1910. It features a mirrored pair of two-bay houses, with No 161 on the left. The exterior is harled, with painted dressings, margins, and quoin strips, and includes a cill course at the first floor.
On the south elevation facing Main Street, there are corniced doorpieces with fluted pilasters leading to doors in the central bays, which have letter-box fanlights. The outer bays contain half-piended bipartite bay windows, and there are gabled dormerheads with ball finials above the first-floor windows.
The east elevation is gabled and blank, while the west elevation is also gabled. The windows are fitted with plate glass glazing in sash and case style. The building has a coped skew to the southwest and harled gablehead stacks on both the east and west sides. The roof is covered with purple-grey slates, terracotta ridge tiles, and clay cans, and it features cast-iron rainwater goods.
Surrounding the property, there is a very low garden wall to the south with saddleback coping, and the wall to No 163 is topped with decorative cast-iron railings.
