Whitekirk Mains Farmhouse

Whitekirk Mains Farmhouse is a large farmhouse that has been built in three different periods, primarily in the mid 18th century. It features a later 18th century projecting wing to the north and a substantial classical house added to the south front around 1800, which has a regular three-bay layout. The exterior is constructed of random purple rubble with droved grey ashlar dressings, and the earlier house, wing, and east gables are finished with harling.

On the south elevation, dating from around 1800, there are three bays grouped at the center, featuring a pilastered doorpiece with a panelled door and a decorative fanlight. The west elevation showcases the steeply pitched gable of the earlier house at the center, with windows on the ground and first floors to the left. There is a long two-bay extension that is recessed to the left, characterized by lower eaves and a rounded outer angle. A pentice roofed porch is situated in the re-entrant angle. To the right, the advanced rubble gable of the circa 1800 house has a single window at ground level to the left. The sash and case windows exhibit a small-pane glazing pattern, while there are casements on the ground floor window to the left of the porch. The roof features gable head stacks, with thackstanes on the earlier house and a projection slate roof.

Inside, there is a tripartite vestibule door. The property also includes an ashlar coped rubble retaining wall and rubble boundary walls.
