Description
Heatherlie Terrace in Selkirk features a terraced tenement building, constructed between 1878 and 1886, with later alterations. This two-storey, eight-bay structure includes shops on the ground floor. It is built from bull-faced sandstone with ashlar dressings, while the rear is constructed from rubble and the southeast elevation is harled. The building has roll-moulded margins around the ground floor openings, a moulded string course between the ground and first floors, and an eaves course.
On the southwest elevation, the left four-bay group, dating from 1878, includes a panelled door in the inner right bay, which has a plate glass rectangular fanlight above it. There is a square datestone with the monogram "NP" at the first floor. Each of the inner left bay's floors features a window. The outer right bay has a two-leaf panelled door flanked by a window, with a bipartite window above at the first floor, which breaks the eaves and is topped with a gabled dormerhead that has a round niche and an ashlar ball finial. The outer left bay has a chamfered bay with a panelled two-leaf door and a canted three-light window above at the first floor, also breaking the eaves and featuring a piended roof.
The right four-bay group, constructed in 1886, has a partly-glazed door at ground level in the two central bays, with plate glass rectangular fanlights above each. Each outer bay has a window, and above these, there are bipartite windows at the first floor that break the eaves, topped with gabled dormerheads and square plaques with the date divided between them, along with ashlar ball finials.
The northwest elevation is a two-bay design, featuring a window on each floor of the left bay, which breaks the eaves at the first floor with a blinded arrow-slit in the gablehead of the gabled dormerhead, also topped with an ashlar ball finial. The right bay has a window at ground level. The wallhead between the bays has a corbelled, advanced stack that is coped at the first floor.
The windows throughout are primarily plate glass timber sash and case, except for the fixed-pane plate glass windows at ground level in the right four-bay group. The roof is covered with slate, featuring fish-scale slates on the turret-like piended roof in the outer left bay of the left four-bay group, which has a cast-iron finial. The building also includes decorative cast-iron rainwater goods, top-hoppers, fixtures, and square downpipes. The interior was not seen in 1995.
