78-80 High Street, Kirkcudbright

78-80 High Street in Kirkcudbright is a pair of terraced houses dating from the mid-18th century, with alterations made to the ground floor in the late 18th century and early 19th century. The buildings are two stories tall with an attic and have five bays. They are constructed from rubble with squared rubble dressings on the first floor and painted margins on the ground floor.

The central section features three round-arched doors with fanlights, the central door adorned with decorative panels. The outer ground floor bays have enlarged windows, while the first floor has five plate glass sash windows. The roof has a wallhead piended design and a canted dormer is present on No 76. The eaves cornice is moulded, and the building has straight skews with miniature skewputts. There are end stacks and a slate roof.

No 80 includes a single-storey, four-bay rear wing. Additionally, No 82, located in the close, is a single-storey structure from the mid to late 19th century with three bays, built from rubble with granite margins and featuring a central door.

The property now incorporates a large late 19th-century store to the south, which is also rubble built with granite dressings. A revision in 1991 noted that one first-floor window has been replaced with a modern casement, and the store to the south of the close is in domestic use with modern fitting sash windows.
