No. 2, Luffness Mains Cottages

No. 2, Luffness Mains Cottages is a row of farm cottages dating before 1854. The row is symmetrical, comprising a central two-storey, seven-bay block flanked by single-storey five-bay ranges, the row terminating in a gabled three-bay single-storey cottage with an attic projecting at right angles. The construction is 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 floor level, with single windows to the outer bays and four windows to the centre. The first floor has five smaller windows, with crowstepped gabled dormerheads breaking the eaves. The flanking single-storey bays have one door and four windows, with two cottages closing each range. Advanced gable end elevations on the south side incorporate a ground floor window and an attic window. A central door is present on the return at ground level, and a lean-to porch has been added to the eastern cottage, with windows flanking. The north elevation has no doorways, with some altered window openings. The central block’s first-floor windows break the eaves in crowstepped gables.

The cottages have sash and case windows with a four-pane glazing pattern. The south pitch of the central block is covered with grey pantiles, while the rear slope has red pantiles. The flanking ranges have grey slates. Architectural details include crowstepped gables, beak skewputts, paired diamond ridge stacks, and single stacks to the end cottages.
