Description
Millbank Cottage, located on Main Street in Glenluce, is a mid-19th century building that features two storeys, with the first floor breaking the eaves, and consists of a three-bay house alongside an adjoining cottage. The exterior is rendered, with the east elevation made of painted rubble and includes raised margins. The windows are adorned with hoodmoulds that have fleuron label stops at the first floor, and the building has quoin strips. Decorative bargeboarding is present on the gables and dormerheads, and the eaves are overhanging with cusped detailing.
On the south elevation facing Main Street, there is a central door with a letter-box fanlight. Windows are located in the bays to the left and right on both the ground and first floors, with gabled dormerheads above the first-floor windows. A low harled garden wall with concrete coping is attached to both the left and right sides.
The west elevation features a gable on the right side, with two windows at the ground floor. To the left, there are two dormer-headed windows, with a door on the right and a window on the left at the ground floor.
The east elevation has a rubble wall attached to the left, which connects to the cottage. The north elevation includes a two-storey wing with a brick-built extension.
The windows are fitted with plate glass glazing in sash and case style. The gablehead stacks are rendered and chamfered, with red sandstone ashlar coping on the east and west sides. The roof is covered with small grey slates and clay cans.
The adjoining cottage is a single-storey, three-bay structure to the east, currently used as a store. It is linked to Millbank by a rubble wall and features a boarded door at the centre, flanked by brick-margined windows. The cottage has brick gablehead stacks, a felted roof, and sandstone skews and skewputts.
