8 Main Street, Kirkcowan

Braeside is an early 19th-century single-storey pair of terraced cottages that are currently combined into one property. The cottages are arranged in a five-bay row, with a rendered exterior lined with painted moulded ashlar margins. There is a window at the center, flanked by doors in the adjacent bays. The cottage on the right has two bays, with a ridge stack indicating a division and a rooflight above. The right end gable is blank, while there is a window on the left gable. The windows are plate glass sash and case, and the doors are deep-set. The roof is covered with grey slates and features two canted dormers on the left cottage, along with a small rooflight on the right. The stacks are harled and have ashlar coped tops with end skews.
