1-3 West Port, Selkirk

5-7 West Port in Selkirk is an earlier to mid-19th century, possibly incorporating earlier materials, two-storey, six-bay L-plan terraced tenement group with shops on the ground floor. The building features painted stugged ashlar with droved ashlar dressings on Nos 1 and 3 (the outer left), and polished ashlar dressings on Nos 5 and 7 (to the right). The rear additions are rendered and built with whinstone rubble. There is a base course and a lintel band course at the first floor.

On the northwest (West Port) elevation, the five bays are grouped, with the outer left bay advanced. The ground floor has an irregular arrangement of bays. To the right of the five-bay group is a shop front featuring a two-leaf panelled door with a rectangular plate glass fanlight above, flanked by fixed-pane plate glass shop windows. There is a deep-set panelled door to the outer right with a rectangular plate glass fanlight above, set in a stop-chamfered opening. A modern partly-glazed door is located in the bay to the inner left, while there is a fixed-pane plate glass shop window in the outer left bay next to the door. Each bay on the first floor has a window that is regularly spaced and directly abuts the projecting wall to the outer left. An ashlar rectangular plaque is situated between the ground and first floor of the inner left bay. The outer left bay has a fixed-pane shop window on the ground floor with a window above on the first floor. The projecting bay features a chamfered corner with a partly-glazed modern door and a letterbox fanlight above, which is corbelled at the first floor to a square. There is a fixed-pane plate glass window at the ground of the return southwest elevation, with a window above on the first floor.

The southeast elevation has an M-gabled projection with a further single-storey addition to the outer left. The windows are mainly plate glass timber sash and case, except for the twelve-lying-pane timber sash and case windows in the centre bay and the bays to the right of the centre in the five-bay group. The slate roof includes some two-pane 19th-century skylights. The northeast corner features brick with droved ashlar quoins and a coped stack.

The interior was not seen in 1996.
