St Mary's Parish Church Hall, Sandbed, Hawick

St Mary's Parish Church Hall in Sandbed, Hawick, was built in 1874 and has undergone later alterations. This two-storey and basement building features a square plan and a gabled Gothic style. The principal east elevation has an advanced central asymmetrical gabled entrance and an offset tower. It is situated on a corner site, with its north elevation facing the Teviot River and the main elevation connected to the parapet wall of the Albert Bridge. The exterior is constructed of coursed bull-faced sandstone with polished ashlar dressings, featuring a moulded string course and a dentilled eaves course. Shallow corner buttresses enhance the structure's stability.

The building has irregular fenestration, predominantly consisting of pointed arch windows with tabbed and chamfered margins and hoodmoulds, along with small rose windows at the gable apexes. The pointed-arched entrance doorway is hoodmoulded and includes a two-light tracery window, while the tower has paired round-arched louvred belfry openings. The north elevation, which rises from the riverbed, has a six-bay gabled design with segmental-arched windows at the basement level and tall pointed-arched windows above. Later alterations have modified the window layouts to create an upper flat. An arched walkway leads to the river beneath the entrance porch steps, which provide access to the lower halls. There is also a later doorway to the right of the entrance that leads to the upper flat.

The principal windows feature fixed glazing, while timber sash and case windows are used elsewhere. The roof is covered with slate, including fishtail slates on the tower. Stone skews are equipped with beaked skewputts, and gable stacks have octagonal clay cans. The building has squared cast-iron rainwater goods with decorative brackets.

Inside, the halls in the basement have stone flag floors, timber panelling up to shoulder height, and plain chimneypieces. The doors are four-panel timber with chamfered detailing, and there are cast-iron columns throughout. A large stone pointed arch is located over the entrance steps to the upper floor, and there is a suspended ceiling at the gallery level.
