New Mains, Whitekirk

New Mains is a farmhouse dating from around 1800, featuring three storeys and three bays, along with an adjoining service cottage. The exterior is finished with pebble-dash harling, accented by ashlar dressings, and some areas are rendered and lined to resemble ashlar.

The south elevation, which serves as the entrance, displays three symmetrical bays with windows on the second floor located under the eaves. A gabled conservatory addition is positioned above the central doorway. To the right, there is a single-storey cottage that is recessed and includes an attic dormer that breaks the eaves.

On the north elevation, there are three bays as well. It features two stair windows at the center, flanked by windows on the second and third stages, with a ground floor window in the left bay and a pantry window beside it. The service cottage is located to the outer left, with a doorway accessed by stone steps. There is also a lean-to harled outbuilding and two additional windows.

The west elevation is mostly blank, with a tall ground floor window that is off-centre to the left. The sash and case windows have a 12-pane glazing pattern. The main house has ashlar coped skews, harled wallhead stacks, and a grey slate roof, while the service cottage features a pantiled piend roof.

Additionally, there is a coped rubble retaining wall with simple gatepiers.
