10 Crossland Crescent, Peebles

10 Crossland Crescent in Peebles is a large single-storey and attic suburban cottage built in 1882. The front is made of squared, snecked, and stugged cream sandstone, while the sides and rear are constructed from whinstone. The building features studded bull-faced long and short cream sandstone margins and quoins, along with ashlar dressings. It has overhanging eaves and exposed rafters, with basket-arched windows that have stop-chamfered arrises and a base course at the front.

The south elevation has an advanced gabled bay on the left, featuring a canted window at ground level. This window is detailed with a pedestal, pilaster-mullions, and jambs that have fluted capitals, along with a blind pierced parapet that contains an initialled shield and an arched datestone from 1882. The gablehead has a triangular oriel window with roll-moulded arrises, fluting, and strapwork cresting. Decorative pierced bargeboards with foliate S-scrolls and a cross brace are present, although the finial is missing. To the right, there are two bays shielded by a four-bay veranda that aligns with the left bay, featuring a cat-slide roof. A two-leaf panelled door is located to the left, accompanied by a rectangular plate glass fanlight and a bipartite window to the right. The veranda has a pierced ashlar wall at ground level, with bases supporting square timber tapering columns, exposed rafters, and a drainpipe that acts as a cornice. To the right, there is a large timber tripartite dormer with a piended gablehead and a ball finial.

The west elevation is a single-storey, two-bay section with a shouldered wallhead stack at the centre. The north elevation has two bays, with a gable to the right that includes a window in the gablehead, and a projecting service bay to the left with a cat-slide roof. The east elevation features a blank advanced gable to the left and a bay to the right that has a back door and a lean-to roof.

The windows throughout the cottage are timber sash and case, with plate glass and some two-pane lower sashes, while the upper sashes in the dormer are six-pane. The roof is covered with grey slates, and the whinstone stacks have rounded sandstone ashlar dressings, with some lotus leaf cans still in place.

The boundary walls are made of whinstone, featuring tall boulder coping on the sides and low walls with saddleback ashlar coping at the front, along with modern steel mesh fencing.
