Description

27 High Street in Peebles is a late 19th-century building with an 18th-century range at the rear. It is a three-storey, three-bay structure facing the street, featuring a pend and two shops on the ground floor, adorned with classical ornamentation. There is a two-storey range that extends between the wynds to the rear.

The north elevation, which faces the street, is made of dressed cream sandstone with polished ashlar dressings and has long and short quoins. On the ground floor, there is a pend to the left and a pair of timber shopfronts with set-back glazed doors and bipartite plate glass shop windows. These are framed by fluted and panelled pilasters, with the outer pilasters topped by a segmental cornice that bears garland cresting. A linking cornice runs across the front. The upper floors feature segmental-headed windows with moulded architraves. The centre window on the first floor has a swan neck pediment joined by a garland and a shaped apron, while the flanking windows are bipartite and pedimented. Each bay on the second floor has a window with a bracketed cill course, and there is an eaves cornice. The rear elevation is constructed of brick.

The windows throughout the building are timber sash and case, featuring both four-pane and plate glass. The roof is covered with grey-green slates, and there are ashlar-coped skews, gablet skewputts, corniced ashlar-dressed stacks, and cast-iron eaves guttering.

The range at the rear is harled, with concrete and ashlar margins. The east elevation has a notable doorpiece on the ground floor to the right, featuring a lugged architrave with egg and dart moulding, a fluted frieze with rosettes, and a consoled cornice above a panelled door. Above this is an ashlar stone inscribed with "IB MP 1672." The first-floor window has a hollow architrave, a consoled cill with a fluted apron and central rosette, and a consoled cornice with a guilloche frieze. There are additional windows to the left and a forestair leading to a gabled timber porch (27a) on the first floor, along with a piend-roofed dormer to the left.

The west elevation features irregular fenestration, including an etched stair window and a piend-roofed dormer. The south elevation is a blank gable end. The windows are timber sash and case, with multi-pane designs. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are ashlar-coped skews and a coped rendered stack.

The interior was not seen in 1994.
