The Plough Hotel, Main Street, Leitholm

The Plough Hotel, located on Main Street in Leitholm, dates from around 1800 and has had later additions and alterations. This 2-storey, 3-bay inn is designed in a plain classical style and is part of a terrace. It features a single-storey, 3-bay wing to the right and a 2-storey, 4-bay wing to the left, with gabled wings at the rear that create a U-plan. The exterior is finished in whitewashed render over rubble, with painted dressings, a painted base course, a painted string course dividing the floors at the center, painted margins, and projecting cills.

On the northwest (entrance) elevation, the main block has a centrally located timber panelled door at ground level, topped by a 3-pane fanlight and framed by a painted, block pedimented door surround. There is a single window aligned above it on the first floor, with single windows in both flanking bays at both floors. The single-storey wing to the right has a timber panelled door offset to the left of center, accompanied by a letterbox fanlight and single windows in the flanking bays. The 2-storey wing to the left features two-leaf boarded timber garage doors offset to the left of center, a small single window at ground level in the bay to the right, and a single window at ground level in the outer right bay. The first floor has three single windows arranged irregularly.

On the southeast (rear) elevation, the main block has a timber door offset to the left of center, with a single stair window above it and single windows in both flanking bays. There is a single-storey L-plan wing to the left, while the 2-storey wing to the right features a glazed door at ground level in the left bay, a part-glazed boarded timber door in a lean-to porch to the right, and two single windows on the first floor. A projecting gabled wing to the outer right has a single window centered on the first floor.

The building predominantly has 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows. The roofs are covered with grey slate and have raised skews, with painted apex stacks on the northeast and southwest sides, featuring circular cans.

The interior has been modernized. In front of the hotel, there is a cobbled forecourt that forms a continuous stretch.
