Description
The building is a conservatory located at 15 Teindhillgreen in Duns, dating from the later 19th century. It is a two-storey, three-bay house featuring overhanging eaves and a decorative conservatory. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked dressed sandstone, with harl-pointed sides and rear, and ashlar dressings. Architectural details include chamfered arrises, ashlar mullions, and first-floor windows that break the eaves with gabled dormerheads. The roof structure reveals exposed rafters, moulded bargeboards, and purlins.
On the front elevation, there is a base course and a roll-moulded doorpiece at the center, topped with a consoled cornice. This features a two-leaf panelled door with a rectangular plate glass fanlight above. To the left, there is a tripartite window, and to the right, a canted window with a piended roof. The first-floor windows are bipartite and have finials on the dormerheads.
The conservatory projects to the right and has a canted end, stained glass, and an ogee-roofed cupola that terminates a gabled ventilator range running longitudinally to the rear, with a door at the front.
The west elevation features a jerkin-headed porch at ground level with a flush-panelled door and a letterbox fanlight on the south return, along with a window to the left. The north (rear) elevation is irregular with five bays; the center bay has a later rendered projection at ground level and a stair window above, with windows in all bays on both the ground and first floors. The east elevation is mostly obscured by the conservatory at ground level, but there is a window to the right.
The building has plate glass timber sash and case windows, a jerkin-headed roof covered with grey slates, and brick stacks with corbelled cornices and octagonal cans. Cast-iron rainwater heads and downpipes are positioned between each bay on the front.
The interior was not seen in 1993. The boundary walls are tall and made of dressed rubble, with an ashlar pedestrian gateway at the center featuring a Tudor-arched doorway, chamfered reveals, and gabletted coping. The gateway includes a boarded door with elaborate wrought-iron hinges.
