Description
12 High Street in Kirkwall is an 18th-century terraced town house that has undergone some later alterations. It is a two-storey building with an attic, featuring a symmetrical rectangular plan and crow-stepped gables, situated on rising ground to the west. The exterior is cement-rendered and lined.
On the north elevation, which is the principal front, there is a modern boarded door with a letterbox fanlight located in the central bay, with a window above it on the first floor. Each bay has a window on both floors. The windows are 4-pane timber sash and case types, while the attic features fixed, timber-framed windows. The north pitch of the roof has three evenly spaced rooflights. The roof itself is covered with grey slate and has a stone ridge. There are corniced gablehead stacks made of cement-rendered and lined material on both the east and west sides, and the building has uPVC rainwater goods.
The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 1998.
