Description

These are a row of six single-storey farm cottages built in the later 19th century. They are symmetrically arranged and located at Aberlady Mains, where they form an attractive frontage. The cottages were built after the adjacent farmhouse, and are part of the remaining buildings of the former steading, along with a similar cottage and a cartshed.

The cottages are constructed from squared and snecked stugged sandstone with ashlar dressings, with a contrasting appearance to the rear. The central block comprises two three-bay cottages, each with a central door and windows on either side. This central section is flanked by wider advanced gabled bays, each featuring a stone mullioned bipartite window on the ground floor and a blind round-arched arrow-slit in the gablehead. The outer cottages are recessed, with two doorways on each side, flanked by two inner and three outer windows. Advanced gables are present at the rear. A single-storey outhouse has been added to the west gable, and the east gable is blank. The windows are sash and case, with an unusually narrow lying-pane glazing pattern, consisting of 18-pane and 27-pane designs. Each window has a two-pane fanlight above it. The gables are crowstepped and covered in grey slates, with diamond-shaped stacks paired in the centre. Historic maps from 1854 and 1892 show the location of the cottages.
