Description

30 High Street in Wigtown is an early 19th-century house, likely a renovation of an 18th-century cottage. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure featuring a forestair and a gabled rear wing. The exterior is constructed of whinstone rubble with granite dressings and is harled on the High Street side. The forestair has a harled parapet added. The main entrance is centrally located, flanked by windows on the ground floor and additional windows in each outer bay on the first floor. There is also a secondary door on the outer left. The tall gabled rear wing sits on higher ground and includes a first-floor window, along with signs of a former outbuilding attached at ground level. The house has plate glass sash and case windows, a modern flat-tiled roof, broad end stacks, and plastic rainwater goods.
