Description

Laigh House, located on Church Lane in Wigtown, is a post-1850, two-storey gabled villa that includes a single-storey service wing and features Tudor architectural references. The structure is built from whinstone rubble with red sandstone ashlar dressings and has ashlar mullions. The roof is adorned with ashlar coped skews, block skewputts, and ball finials.

On the south entrance elevation, there is a gabled stone porch positioned in the re-entrant angle to the left, featuring a pointed arch doorway and a window on the return to the left. The central and right sections have M-gabled bays, each with windows on both floors; the ground floor window on the right is bipartite.

The west elevation has a porch in the re-entrant angle to the right, with a small first-floor window above and a blank wall panel to the outer right. The central gabled bay contains windows on both floors, while the roof sweeps down to a single storey over the outer left bay, which also has a window.

The east elevation consists of three bays. The centre bay is blank at ground level, with a small bipartite window under the eaves at the first floor. The outer bays have bipartite windows at ground level, and the first-floor window in the left bay breaks the eaves in a gabled dormer head, while the right bay also features a gabled window.

The north elevation is M-gabled with a window in the left bay on both floors. There is a single-storey gabled service wing projecting at the centre, along with a lower two-storey gabled projection in the outer right bay.

The interior was not seen in 1992, but it features six-pane glazing in sash and case windows, with one window made of plate glass. The roof is covered with graded grey slate, and there are gablehead and valley stacks with ashlar coping.
