Description
17 Low Street in Banff is a house dated 1745, featuring two storeys and an attic with three bays and an irregular ground floor. The exterior is harled with painted margins. The entrance is off-centre and has been converted into a shop window, with chamfered jambs and a bolection moulded lintel. There is a later narrow doorway on the extreme left and a mid-19th century narrow three-bay shop front on the right. The first floor has regular windows with 12-pane timber sash and case glazing. A small gabled dormer in the centre, also dated, features 12-pane glazing, while mid-19th century canted wallhead dormers are located in the outer bays. The house has end chimney stacks with deep roll moulded copes, flat skews with moulded run-off skewputts, a slate roof, and a sandstone ridge.
Inside, a later entrance in the extreme left bay leads through the former kitchen to a rear wing and provides access to No 15. A wide segmental-headed mural hearth remains in the modern passage.
