No 19 Including Bridge Over Which It Is Built

No. 19 is a house built in the early 19th century, which includes a bridge over Dean Burn. The building is roughcast with a slate roof that is hipped at the right end and continues with No. 24 Station Road on the left. There is a left end stack, with the shaft rendered and blocked out, featuring a platband and old pots. The house has a double-depth plan, two rooms wide, heated from end stacks, with a central entrance leading into a corridor and a staircase rising to the rear. There are bathroom additions at the back, built onto an iron girder extension that widened the original bridge.

The exterior features two storeys and part of a cellar, with a symmetrical three-bay front. The original central entrance has a six-panel front door with fielded upper panels and a plain overlight. The doorcase includes pilasters with capitals, an entablature, and a projecting cornice. The outer windows are original 16-pane hornless sashes, with a 12-pane sash in the centre of the first floor. The rear elevation has some replacement windows made of aluminium frames.

Inside, the chimneypieces are missing, but the joinery remains intact, including six-panel doors with doorcases and skirtings. This attractive town house is prominently positioned in the streetscape, facing up Fore Street, and its construction over the bridge is unusual.
