29 Newtown Street, Duns

29 Newtown Street in Duns is a mid-18th century house that was refronted and extended in the early 19th century. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure with extensive stables located at the rear.

The house is rendered and features a base course with regular window arrangement. At the center, there is a simple panelled pilastered ashlar doorpiece with a deep-set flush-panelled door. The rear elevation has three bays, including a stair window in the center and a pair of small piend-roofed dormers. The right bay is partially obscured at ground level by a single-storey link to the barn, which now incorporates the kitchen. There is also a flat-roofed sunroom at the center.

The house has 12-pane timber sash and case windows, grey slate roofing, ashlar coped skews, and brick stacks, with red brick on the east side and a stone base on the west.

Inside, the first-floor sitting room features a decorative cornice. There is a blocked-up 18th-century window from the original house located in the rear internal room. Access to the stables at the rear is available via an adjoining pend at No 33 Newtown Street.

Attached at right angles to the house is a small two-storey, three-bay harled barn. The barn has a single kitchen window on the ground floor to the left and a door to the outer right. The first floor features a hayloft door that breaks the eaves, with a gabled dormer head flanked by small windows close to the eaves. The barn has timber windows, a piended roof with a gable facing south, and a central brick stack.

The stables are an extended harled range that adjoins No 33 at right angles. The first seven bays have a loft above, with a ground-level boarded door flanked by windows to the north and three pairs of boarded garage doors. There is a gable-headed loading door and three windows close to the eaves of the loft. A single-storey, three-bay range to the south has a door at the center. The roofs are piended, covered with grey slates, and the windows are timber multi-pane.

Additional features include recent small detached single-storey timber sheds with corrugated iron roofs, a brick coal store, and rubble boundary walls, some with boulder coping, which incorporate dung pits to the south of the stable range. In the garden, there is a pillar sundial dated 1777.
