10 Howegate, Hawick

10 Howegate in Hawick is a late 19th century, three-storey, three-bay terraced tenement that has been redeveloped by Aitken & Turnbull in the late 20th century. It is situated on a sloping site and features a symmetrical five-bay shop at ground level. The shopfront is made of painted ashlar, while the upper sections are constructed from tooled cream sandstone ashlar with raised polished ashlar dressings, and the rear is harled.

The building has a stepped base and a corniced shopfront, with a raised, architraved lintel course that forms a basket-arched arcade beneath the corniced eaves. There are raised, moulded quoin strips on the corners. The front has regular fenestration, with architraved, roll-moulded, stop-chamfered, basket-arched margins and projecting cills, while the rear has irregular fenestration.

The shopfront features a central half-glazed, timber-panelled door with a fanlight, flanked by two windows on either side. The shopfront windows are made of plate glass with a single horizontal glazing bar on the inner windows, while the other windows throughout the building predominantly have four-pane glazing in timber sash-and-case style. The roof is covered with grey slate and has coped gablehead stacks with circular clay cans, along with cast-iron rainwater goods.
