Gatepiers And Boundary Walls, Taynuilt Including Garage, Tweedside Road, Newton St Boswells

The property consists of gatepiers and boundary walls at Taynuilt, including a garage located on Tweedside Road in Newton St Boswells. This early 19th-century structure features a two-storey and attic, three-bay classical house with a square plan. It is prominently situated on elevated ground to the east of Newton St Boswells and includes a former stable block to the south, which has round-arched brick openings. The building is constructed from coursed red sandstone rubble with smooth buff ashlar dressings, raised stone cills, in-and-out quoins, and a moulded cornice.

The south (garden) elevation showcases a moulded stone doorpiece with scrolled brackets that support a lintel canopy. Flanking corniced windows and a shouldered pediment gable with a round-arched attic window are centrally located, along with a small chimney stack at the apex.

To the north (road) elevation, there is a single-storey, half-piended outshot with a central stair window above, flanked by blind window openings and tall wallhead stacks above. The windows are timber sash and case with 12-pane glazing. The roof is piended and covered with grey slate, featuring tall, coped wallhead stacks with ashlar quoins and predominantly square clay cans.

The garage block, which was formerly a stable, is a single-storey structure with a piend roof. It is built from buff brick (now harled) with red brick margins and has a round-arched door flanked by round-arched windows on the side elevation. The front facing the road has two-leaf timber vehicle doors, and there is an additional timber door at the rear. The garage also features fixed timber-framed windows and a grey slate roof.

The gate piers and boundary walls consist of circular-plan, squared and snecked rubble gate piers topped with conical caps. The high rubble walls are capped with rounded coping stones.
