Ewart House, Main Street, Whitsome

Ewart House, located on Main Street in Whitsome, is a house built in the earlier to mid 19th century, around 1845, with later additions and alterations. This near-symmetrical, two-storey, three-bay house was originally a single storey and has been extended to the left by incorporating a former two-storey, two-bay neighbour, now forming a five-bay section of an irregular terrace. At the rear, there is a two-storey gabled addition that creates an L-shape, along with a flat-roofed single storey addition set in the re-entrant angle.

The front of the main block features painted and coursed render at the ground level, while the first floor is finished in painted, coursed, and tooled sandstone. The two-bay wing is made of painted sandstone, and the side is constructed from random rubble sandstone. The rear has pebbledash at the ground level and harl-pointed random rubble sandstone at the first floor, with droved rubble dressings. Notable architectural features include a raised base course, a corniced door, and projecting cills at the first floor.

On the northwest elevation facing Main Street, the original three-bay house has a deep-set, part-glazed timber panelled door at the centre of the ground floor, surrounded by a stop-chamfered corniced surround with a blocking course. Above this door is a single window, with additional single windows in both flanking bays (the left bay has a smaller window at ground level). To the left, there are two-storey bays that include a garage door in the left bay and a single window above, with a modern door at ground level in the right bay.

The southeast elevation at the rear features a small opening at ground level, with a single window aligned above it at the first floor. A French door is located at ground level in the outer left bay, with a single window above. A tripartite window is centred in the single storey addition that projects at the centre, along with another single window at the first floor. The gabled wing to the outer right has a single door at ground level, offset to the left of centre, and a single window at the first floor, with a panel dated "1750" set above it. The single storey addition at ground level is offset to the right of centre.

The house predominantly features 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, although there is a replacement 9-pane window centred at the first floor on the front. The roof is made of grey slate, with a raised stone skew that is mutual with the adjoining property. There are brick-built ridge stacks with various circular cans.

The interior was not seen in 1997.
