No. 4, Luffness Mains Cottages

No. 4, Luffness Mains Cottages is a row of farm cottages dating from before 1854. The row consists of a central two-storey, seven-bay block flanked by a five-bay single-storey range on either side, terminating in a gabled three-bay single-storey cottage with an attic projecting at a right angle. The cottages are constructed of random rubble with grey, stugged sandstone dressings. Some openings have been enlarged or blocked.

The south elevation features two doorways in the penultimate bays of the central block at ground level, with a single window to the outer bays and four windows to the centre. Five smaller windows are positioned on the first floor, set within crowstepped gabled dormerheads that break the eaves. The flanking single-storey bays have one door and four windows each; two cottages close each flanking range. Advanced gable end elevations on the south side incorporate a ground floor window and an attic window. A door is centrally positioned on the return at ground level, with a lean-to porch added later to the eastern cottage, alongside flanking windows. The north elevation has no doorways, with some altered window openings. The central block features small first floor windows breaking the eaves within crowstepped gabled dormers.

The cottages have sash windows with a four-pane glazing pattern. The south-facing pitch of the central block is covered with grey pantiles, while the rear pitch has red pantiles. Grey slates cover the flanking ranges. Architectural details include crowstepped gables, beak skewputts, and paired diamond ridge stacks, with single stacks to the end cottages. An Ordnance Survey map of Haddingtonshire from 1854 provides a historical reference point.
