Description

Brae Cottage, located on High Street in New Galloway, dates from the late 18th to early 19th century. It is a single-storey cottage with an attic, designed in an L-shape that includes a barn. The main elevation has three bays facing north, with a long wing extending to the west that provides barns and storage, while the first floor is used for domestic purposes.

The gabled dormers have been altered with modern brick and feature a 4-pane glazing pattern. The roofs are covered with slate, and there are corniced axial stacks.
