Chalmers Cottages, 6 Main Street, Linlithgow Bridge

Chalmers Cottages, located at 6 Main Street in Linlithgow Bridge, were designed by Sir Robert Lorimer in 1907. This pair of near-symmetrical semi-detached cottages showcases the Arts and Crafts style and features two single-storey and attic bays at the center, flanked by two-storey jerkin-headed gabled end bays. The cottages have a rectangular plan and accommodate seven flats. The exterior is finished with harled cream sandstone rubble at the base course and below the windows on the ground floor, with droved ashlar cills. The windows are bipartite and tripartite casement types with wooden mullions, complemented by boarded doors.

On the south elevation, the entrance is recessed at the center, featuring a long canted window that bridges the center, with doors on either side. The roof sweeps down low over the window, forming porches at the entrances. Above, there are two slate-hung keel-shaped dormers with hinged windows and a fishscale diamond motif at the gablehead. The taller jerkin-headed gable to the left has a door on the outer left and a tripartite window to the right at ground level, with another window below the swept eaves at the center. The end bay to the right mirrors this design but has a door set in a chamfered angle corbelled to a square at the first floor.

The east side elevation features an asymmetrical arrangement with a door off-center to the right and a window beside it, along with a bipartite window at the first floor. The north rear elevation has eight symmetrical bays, with two tripartite windows at both the ground and first floors in the center. There is a two-leaf half-glazed door with a window on either side at the first floor, and bipartite windows at the ground and first floors on the far right and left. Doors lead to the outer bays, each with a bipartite window above.

The west side elevation includes a window at both the ground and first floors beneath the eaves. The cottages feature side-hung casement windows with six panes in each light and fixed nine-pane windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and has three tall harled stacks at the center.
