Description

West Corsbie is an early 19th century, two-storey, L-plan house located on King Street in Newton Stewart. It features a single-storey pavilion and a porch addition. The building is constructed from rubble with squared granite dressings and is harled with painted margins on the front.

The principal elevation includes a base course and quoin strips. At the center, there is a round-arched doorway with a panelled door and a radial fanlight, which is obscured by a later flat-roofed stone porch that has a segmental-arched entrance, keystone, and coping. Large, regular windows are present in the flanking bays and on the first floor. The roof features three 19th century slate-hung gabled dormers with decorative barge boards. To the outer left, there is a single-storey, piend-roofed pavilion with a small window under the eaves at the front, a door on the return to the left, and a lean-to addition at the rear. The broad gable on the return has first-floor windows on the right side. A two-storey gabled wing is located at the rear to the left, with irregularly placed windows and doors, and a large slapping at the rear of the main block with a first-floor window above.

The building has modern glazing, broad gablehead stacks with a full complement of octagonal cans, and is covered with graded grey slates. The skews and skewblocks are made of ashlar. The interior was not seen in 1993.
