Description
41 West Port in Selkirk is a two-storey building with an attic, dating from around 1820, with later additions and alterations. It features a three-bay tenement with a shop on the ground floor, situated on rising ground to the southeast. The northwest and southeast elevations are finished with painted line-render, while the rear has a painted brick addition that extends to full height. The building includes a base course and quoin strips.
On the northwest elevation, which faces West Port, there is a modern part-glazed door in the center at ground level, with a window above it on the first floor. To the right, there is a shop window on the ground floor and another window above it on the first floor. There is also a later stop-chamfered bipartite window with an ashlar mullion, accompanied by a window on the first floor above.
The southeast elevation features a full-height platformed addition that projects from the center bay and the right side, which includes a door leading to the tenement. The building has plate glass timber sash and case windows, along with a fixed-pane plate glass window at the ground level of the right bay on the northwest elevation. The roof is covered with slate and has a brick coped wallhead stack to the southwest and a mutual stack to the northeast. Each outer bay on the northwest elevation has a three-light canted dormer, and there is a two-pane 19th-century skylight on the southeast side.
The interior has not been fully seen since 1996. The boundary walls consist of a whinstone rubble wall at the rear.
