Description
The Fleece Hotel, located at 7 Market Place in Selkirk, is an earlier 19th-century building that has undergone several alterations and additions throughout the 19th century and beyond. This three-storey, three-bay structure is positioned at the end of a terrace on a corner site. It features a pebbledash exterior with painted droved ashlar dressings, some of which have been repaired with render. The building has slightly raised quoins, a band course, and profiled guttering between the first and second floors. It is topped with a cornice and a Jacobean balustraded parapet that has panelled coped dies at the outer edges, adorned with ball finials and interrupted by Jacobean dormerheads.
On the southeast elevation, there is a central six-panelled door with brass fittings and a weathered cornice above it. An Art Nouveau brass and glass canopy, featuring a gilt-painted name, acroteria, and brass sinuous brackets, shelters the entrance. Flanking the door are windows, with additional windows on each floor above. The second-floor windows break the cornice at the eaves and are topped with curvilinear dormerheads and ashlar finials.
The northeast elevation consists of thirteen bays, which include the side elevation of the original property and two adjoining properties that are progressively lower in height. The fenestration is irregularly arranged. Most of the glazing is modern, except for some surviving plate glass timber sash and case windows on the northeast side, along with timber pivot windows on the southeast. The roof is slate, with possible platforming on parts of the rear additions. There is a droved ashlar wallhead stack at the gableheads on the northeast elevation, and cast-iron rainhoppers are located at the eaves level of the southeast elevation.
The interior was not seen in 1995.
