Description

Harelaw Cottage No. 1 in Longniddry is a pair of symmetrical single-storey cottages built in the mid to late 19th century, arranged in a U-plan with advanced gabled outer bays. The cottages are constructed from squared and snecked stugged grey sandstone, featuring ashlar dressings, chamfered arrises, and stone mullions. Each cottage has a central door located in the re-entrant angles, accompanied by a strip fanlight and flanked by tripartite and small lights in the centre bays. The gable ends have bipartite windows with hoodmoulds. The windows are sash and case style with plate glass glazing. At the rear, there are lean-to projections with a car-slide roof. The eaves are bracketted and overhanging, with plain barge boards and kingposts at the gables. The roofs are covered with grey slates, and there are ashlar coped gable and wall stacks.
