5 Brown's Place, East Linton

5 Brown's Place is a mid-19th century, two-storey, three-bay terraced house. It is constructed from squared and coursed grey sandstone with droved dressings, and rubble whinstone with stugged ashlar dressings. The building features a first-floor cill course and chamfered reveals.

On the north elevation, there is a pilastered and pedimented doorpiece at the center of the doorway. The ground floor has windows in the flanking bays, with a pend entrance located at the outer right. The first floor contains three windows.

The south elevation has a piend roofed stairbay that projects at the center, and there is a lean-to outhouse at ground level to the right. The sash and case windows have a lying-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates and has straight skews, along with mutual gable stacks. A low rubble retaining wall is present at the front of the property.
