Description
This 18th-century town house, located at 1-3 High Street in North Berwick, features a two-storey oblong plan and is harled.
The front elevation includes three ground floor plate glass shop windows, which were altered and raised in 1970, with deep doorways situated between them. There are panelled storm doors, and at the first floor, a central single light opening is flanked by bipartite windows, both with raised cills.
A prominent square bell-cote, built in 1724, has clock faces added to the north and south sides in 1810 by Andrew Smith. It features louvred openings on the east and west sides, a skirted base that connects to the main roof, and a steep, bell-cast roof with lead flashings, all slated. A cockerel weathervane adorns the top.
On the east elevation, there is a ground floor window. The south elevation features a forestair on the west side leading to a first floor projecting bay that is crenellated and has a narrow slit window. The sash and case windows have small-pane glazing, and the pantiled roof was reconstructed in 1967, with plain raised skews and gable head stacks.
Inside, the ground floor has been fitted for shops since 1970, and the first floor, which serves as Council Chambers, has been modernised.
