22 West High Street, Lauder

22 West High Street in Lauder is a later 19th-century building that was restored in 1989 by the Scottish Historic Buildings Trust. It is a two-storey and attic terrace with a two-storey wing at the rear southwest, which is No 26. The terrace includes a single-fronted cottage, No 22, on the southeast and a three-bay house with a shopfront at ground level, No 24, on the northwest.

The principal northeast elevation features a two-storey oriel window at No 22, which is harled. No 24 has sandstone quoins at the corners and long and short surrounds to its original windows. The materials include coursed dressed partially snecked whinstone for No 24, whinstone rubble with sandstone dressings for Nos 24 and 26, and sandstone surrounds to the openings of Nos 24 and 26.

On the northeast elevation, the entrance to No 24 is located to the left, featuring a two-leaf panelled timber door and large flanking windows that form the shopfront, with a shallow bracketed canopy above. There is a window to the outer right, and each bay on the first floor has a window, with piended rectangular-plan dormers in the outer flanking bays of the attic. No 22 is adjacent to the left, with its entrance to the right, a window to the left, and a canted timber oriel window with a polygonal piended roof on the first floor and attic.

The northwest elevation shows the gable end of the terrace to the left, with an entrance to the right, a window to the left on the first floor, and a small window to the left in the attic, all of which are architraved and likely inserted. The two-storey rear wing adjoins to the right, with an architraved entrance to No 26 on the left, featuring a boarded timber door with a rectangular fanlight, and a small architraved window to the right, with a window above that has stugged long and short surrounds.

The upper floors of Nos 24 and 26 have 8 and 12-pane timber sash and case windows, while No 22 features 2-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered in grey slate, with coped sandstone ridge stacks on either side of No 24, including a gablehead stack to the northwest, and a rendered ridge stack to the southeast of No 22, which has round cans.

The interiors were not inspected in 1998.
