Description
The County Hotel, located at 3-11 High Street in Selkirk, is an early 19th century building that incorporates earlier materials and has undergone later additions and alterations. It is a three-storey, three-bay structure forming part of a terrace. The exterior features painted harl with painted ashlar dressings, which are now rendered, and painted harled additions at the rear. Notable architectural elements include a base course, long and short quoins, and an eaves course.
On the southeast elevation facing High Street, there is a heavy doorpiece with Tuscan columns at the center, topped by a statue of a greyhound. The door is flanked by lights, and there is a window above on each floor. Each of the flanking bays also has a window on every floor, with an oculus located to the left of the bay on the right at the first floor. Above the eaves course, there is a later raised wallhead with coping that has been line-rendered.
The northwest elevation features a full-height projection along with additional two-storey and single-storey extensions. The windows are plate glass timber sash and case types, and the roof has a concrete platform with a slate covering on the rear additions. The building has mutual coped stacks.
The interior, which was not fully seen in 1995, has been significantly altered. It includes an ornamental cast-iron balustrade with a timber handrail on the first floor, and the hall at that level has also been much changed.
