Abbey House, Glenluce Abbey

Abbey House, located at Glenluce Abbey, dates from around 1775 and was remodelled in 1830. It is a two-storey, three-bay former manse constructed of lightly painted rubble with raised ashlar margins and granite quoins.

On the south elevation, there is a recessed doorcase at the center featuring a boarded door and a plate glass fanlight. The windows are regularly spaced, except for a modern flat-roofed rendered bay window at the ground level in the bay to the right.

The east elevation is blank.

The north elevation has a lower gabled jamb attached to the right. It features a stair window at the center, with small windows flanking to the left on each floor. There is a window at both the ground and first floors in the bay to the left. The right side has a gabled jamb, with a door to the left and a window to the right leading to the east return, which has a modern box dormer window above. There are two windows on the west return, with a small window placed to the outer right. A lower half-piended outbuilding is attached to the north, with a door facing east.

The west elevation has two paired windows at the center on both the ground and first floors, and a small window to the left at the ground floor. The west return has a jamb to the left. The windows are 12-pane glazing in sash and case style. The building features coped skews, gablehead stacks to the east and west, and a stack on the jamb to the north. The roof is covered with slightly graded grey slates and has octagonal cans.
