Description
39-41 High Street in Linlithgow is an earlier 19th-century, two-storey, four-bay house, featuring classical details and a shop at the ground level. The building is constructed from cream sandstone rubble, which is squared coursed and stugged on the north elevation. It has base and eaves courses, and the ground floor windows are architraved, stop-chamfered, and feature ovolo moulding.
On the north (entrance) elevation, there is a corniced and pilastered doorpiece located off-centre to the left, which includes a fanlit panelled door. Large shop windows are positioned to the right and left of the entrance, while a former door on the outer right has been blocked and converted into a window. The first floor has four symmetrical windows.
The south (rear) elevation consists of three bays with a projecting rectangular stair block. The ground floor features modern glazing, while the first floor has sash and case windows with plate glass in the lower sashes and six-pane upper sashes. The roof is covered with grey slate and has ashlar coped skews with skew blocks, along with sandstone corniced stacks at the gables. Additionally, there are two piended corniced slate-hung dormers with rounded angles on the rear.
