Description
32 Main Street in Kirkcolm is a late 18th to early 19th century, two-storey, three-bay house that was originally two separate properties within a terrace. The building is constructed of painted rubble with painted raised margins.
The east elevation, facing Main Street, features widely spaced bays. There is a boarded door located to the right of the center, with a window on either side. The fenestration is regularly arranged on both the ground and first floors.
The south elevation is attached to a slightly lower building, No 30 Main Street, while the north elevation is adjoined to No 34 Main Street.
The house has sash and case windows, with four-pane glazing on the ground floor and plate glass glazing on the first floor. The south side has a red sandstone coped skew, and there is a partly rendered and partly harled gablehead stack on the south, along with a small mutual brick stack on the north. The roof is covered with small grey slates, with purple slates forming an easing course.
