Description
18 Easter Street in Duns is an earlier 19th-century building that has seen later additions and alterations. It is a two-storey corner block featuring a shop on the ground floor and an extended range to the rear that includes garages. The exterior is made of cream sandstone rubble, much of which is harled, with ashlar dressings.
On the north elevation facing Easter Street, the building has a two-bay design with coursed rubble. The ground floor features a shop with a plate glass window on the left and a panelled door on the right, which includes a rectangular fanlight and a Tudor hoodmould. The first floor has a single window to the left, with a cill course below.
The west elevation facing Currie Street shows a rubble gable end on the left with two windows on the ground floor and one window on the first floor. To the right, there is a two-storey, two-bay harled range that is slightly set back. This section has a door on the left with a stair window above it, and windows on both floors to the right. Adjoining this is a single-storey and attic two-bay harled block, which features a door and a pair of garages at ground level, along with a pair of piend-roofed tripartite dormers above.
Most of the windows are 12-pane timber sash and case, while the dormers have casement windows. The building has ashlar coped skews, brick stacks, and is topped with grey slates.
The outbuildings and boundary wall consist of limewashed brick and rubble. There is a two-storey range at right angles to the west elevation, which includes a pair of boarded garage doors at ground level and a barn door above. The gable end to the west has a lean-to brick and corrugated-iron shed at ground level, and there is a further pentice-roofed brick shed to the north forming a court.
The boundary wall is made of rubble with concrete coping.
