Description

Post Office Cottage in Luggate Burn is a single-storey, gabled building designed by William Burn around 1830. Originally a post office and the post master's house, it has had several additions shortly after its construction. The exterior features squared, stugged, and coursed red and pink sandstone with droved and chamfered reveals.

On the west elevation, the design is asymmetrical with two advanced gabled bays at the center. The larger bay on the right has a stone mullioned bipartite window with a stone-bracketed canopy and a blind slit in the apex. To the left, there is a slightly advanced bay with another stone mullioned bipartite window. The gabled entrance bay is set in a re-entrant angle to the right, featuring a segmentally arched opening with a fanlight. There is a timber mullioned bipartite window in the recessed outer left bay and another window in the recessed outer right bay.

The north elevation includes a shallow advanced gabled bay to the right, which has a set-off stack projecting slightly at the center. This bay is flanked to the left by a doorway with a stone-consoled gabled hood, and there is a former post office name board under the hood. A timber mullioned bipartite window is located in the left bay.

The rear elevation consists of three gabled bays, featuring plate glass sash and case windows. The roof is covered with large grey slates, and the gables are crowstepped with beak skewputts. There are single diamond stacks, although one is missing as of 1988.
