Description

This is a classical town house located on High Street in Peebles, dated 1753. It is two stories high with three bays and features a former corn exchange built in 1860 at the rear. The exterior is finished in cream harl with pink sandstone ashlar dressings. Architectural details include a base course, a banded impost course at the ground floor, a banded cill course at the first floor, an eaves cornice, angle margins, and first-floor windows with shouldered mouldings.

The north (front) elevation is symmetrical, featuring two depressed-arched pends in the outer bays, with the right bay now infilled with modern glazing, framing a central window. The fenestration above is regular. A central bracketed pediment breaks the eaves, adorned with ball finials and a shield displaying Peebles' arms and the date.

On the south (rear) elevation, there is a tall single-storey former corn exchange that projects at a right angle, with tall windows that are now blocked and other openings. A small arched belfry is located at the end gable.

The front block has 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof of the town house is covered with purple slates and features both piend and platformed designs, while the corn exchange has swept skewputts.

The interior was not seen in 1994.
