East House, 88 Main Street, Coaltown Of Balgonie

East House, located at 88 Main Street in Coaltown of Balgonie, is an earlier 19th century building with a later addition. This two-storey, three-bay house is part of a terraced pair and features droved ashlar stonework with squared and snecked rubble on the sides and rear, along with rusticated quoins and polished margins. It has a base course and an eaves cornice, with architraved openings. The southern elevation, which serves as the entrance, is symmetrical and includes a deep-set, part-glazed timber door at the center, flanked by windows in the outer bays. The door is topped by a two-pane fanlight within a corniced, architraved surround that features a fluted frieze. The first floor has regular fenestration.

On the eastern elevation, there is a window to the outer left on the first floor and a gablehead stack. An extension projects at the outer right, featuring a door to the left and a window to the right, along with a window in the gablehead and an adjoining outbuilding to the outer right. The northern elevation is mostly obscured by a boundary wall, but it has a gable projecting to the left with a window and stack in each gablehead, and a lean-to extension in the re-entrant angle to the right.

The extension has four-pane and plate glass glazing in timber sash and case windows, while the other windows feature top-opening timber frames. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are cavetto coped ashlar stacks with clay cans, as well as ashlar coped skews with decorative scroll skewputts and thackstanes.

The outbuildings include a pantiled, squared rubble building that was formerly a gig house, which has a boarded timber garage door to the south and a blocked semicircular hayloft opening above in the gablehead. This building also features ashlar coped skews and scroll skewputts. There is another pantiled outbuilding to the northeast of the site.

The boundary wall consists of low rubble walls topped with ashlar coping and decorative cast iron gates and railings to the southeast. To the southwest, there are high rubble boundary walls with ashlar coping, coped ashlar gatepiers, and cast iron gates.
