Description

The Piper's House, located on Duck Row in Jedburgh, has an early 17th century core but was rebuilt much later. It is a two-storey, three-bay house with crowstepped gables, along with a single bay house to the north.

The exterior features harled walls with raised margins. On the east elevation, the main house has two storeys and three bays, with a window on each floor and in each bay. There is a door to the left of the central window, and a plaque is set into the lintel of the central first-floor window. The single bay house to the north has bipartite windows on both floors and a door to the left.

The south elevation has a gable with a single window on both floors at the outer left, and two corbel stones just above the eaves level. There is a gablehead stack.

On the west elevation, the northern section is a single storey with a bipartite window and is harled. It features a mutual gable and stack to the right. The southern section has three bays, with the two left bays being harled and a door to the left and a window to the right; the right bay is a blank rubble wall with a basement.

The windows are four-pane timber sash and case, with plate glass in No. 2. The roof is covered in grey slates and includes small roof-lights and coped stacks. The crowsteps and moulded skewputts are present, although the northern one is missing. A figure of a squatting man, presumably the piper, stands on the northeast skewputt. The interior was not seen in 1992 and includes a first-floor flat and ground floor stores.
