9 High Street, Penicuik

9 High Street in Penicuik is a late 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay terraced house that features a shop on the ground floor. The building is constructed from tooled sandstone ashlar with polished ashlar dressings. It has a panelled apron and a corniced fascia, although part of it is obscured by modern signage. The eaves course is also present. The first floor has segmental-arched windows, and the building displays chamfered arrises.

On the northwest (principal) elevation, there is a six-bay ground floor. This includes a five-bay pilastraded shop front on the left, which has a modern door with a plate glass fanlight at the centre, flanked by pairs of windows. To the outer right at ground level, there is a shouldered, moulded doorpiece with a former two-leaf, now four-panel timber door and a plate glass shouldered rectangular fanlight. A window is centred on the first floor, with bipartite windows in the bays to the left and right.

The northeast elevation is adjoining the terraced building at 13 High Street, known as The Old Crown Inn, which is listed separately. The southeast (rear) elevation was not seen in 1999. The southwest elevation features a coursed rubble gable, which is adjoined to the terraced neighbours at 5 and 7 High Street, also listed separately.

The interior was not seen in 1999. The building predominantly has four-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with a lead ridge, and cast-iron rainwater goods. The gablehead stack is made of tooled ashlar and is corniced with circular cans, and it has a coped skew.
