Description

Cronie, at 25 Main Street, Kirkinner, is a cottage dating to circa 1800. It is a single-storey building, originally with three bays grouped towards the centre. The exterior is constructed of whinstone rubble with red ashlar sandstone dressings, including rusticated gressings and an eaves course. The central entrance has a letterbox fanlight above a panelled door, with four-pane sash and case windows on either side. The roof is covered in graded grey slates, featuring an ashlar coped skew on the left side, rusticated stacks, a zinc ridge, and cast-iron guttering. A piend-roofed wing extends to the rear, featuring a lean-to addition, a stack, and a sandstone ridge.

A passage is located to the left of the cottage, between 25 Main Street and a later building. Formerly known as "cronie," the cottage exemplifies traditional vernacular architecture and retains features of particular interest.
