Description

7 Main Street in Pathhead is a single-storey, two-bay cottage built around 1800 and remodeled around 1870. It has a rectangular plan with a central entrance porch. The exterior features ashlar stonework, chamfered arrises, and tooled long and short quoins.

The principal elevation faces southwest and includes a central enclosed ashlar gabled porch. This porch has stone skews, gablet skewputts, and a stone star finial at the top. Above the door lintel is an architraved plaque with a metal pointer above it. The door surround has chamfered arrises, and the sides feature decorative stop-chamfer arrises. There is an angled stone step leading to a two-leaf framed and boarded timber door, with a two-pane fanlight above. Flanking the porch are paired four-pane windows, which have narrow chamfered stone mullions and splay cills at the base. The roof has plain stone skews and putts, and there are coursed ashlar chimneys on each gable, topped with stone neck copes and paired hexagonal cans.

The northwest elevation is adjacent to a two-storey house on the left. The northeast elevation was not visible as of 2000. The southeast elevation is next to a single-storey cottage with a steeper roof pitch on the right.

The front elevation features four-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with graded grey slate, has metal ridging, and includes a modern squared vent at the ridge center, with slightly projecting eaves. The rainwater goods are painted cast iron. The interior was not seen as of 2000.
