Description
75-79 Main Street in Pathhead consists of two traditional houses from the earlier 18th century, each two stories tall. The buildings have been extended at the rear and feature a modern pebbledash finish, with painted ashlar cills and surrounds.
On the principal elevation, No. 75 is a two-bay structure with a modern shopfront that has a replacement off-centre door. To the left, there is a tall window, and to the right, a large plate glass window. A retractable sun awning is present on the ground floor, along with an advertising fascia that separates the storeys. The first floor has two single windows and an advertising board between them.
No. 77 is a three-bay, two-storey building finished in coloured pebbledash. It has a central doorway with a replacement modern glazed door, flanked by single windows, each with a boxed retractable fabric sun awning above. An advertising fascia also divides the storeys here, and there are three single windows on the first floor, with an advertising board to the right.
The side elevation to the southeast features a blank gable with plain skews, a heavy coursed stone stack with a cope, and a pair of octagonal cans. The rear elevation has gabled extensions of varying heights and ages. The northwest side elevation abuts No. 73.
Inside, the original floor plan has been altered, resulting in a modern shop interior. No. 75 operates as a mini market, while No. 77 is a butcher's shop. There is residential accommodation on the first floor and at the rear.
