10 East High Street, Lauder

10 East High Street in Lauder is a mid-19th century, two-storey, three-bay classical villa with a symmetrical rectangular plan and a projecting entrance bay. The building is constructed of coursed whinstone with sandstone ashlar dressings. It features a base course, a string course that connects the first-floor window sills, an eaves course that joins the first-floor window lintels, and a moulded eaves cornice topped by a low parapet. The corners are accentuated with V-jointed quoins, and the windows have droved long and short surrounds.

The northern elevation, which is the principal facade, has a projecting central entrance bay. This bay includes a central entrance flanked by pilasters that support a plain entablature with a moulded cornice. The entrance features a six-panel timber door with a rectangular fanlight above it. There is a tripartite window above the entrance, with narrower flanking lights, and the parapet over the eaves steps up to the center. Each of the flanking bays has a single window on both floors, with the ground floor windows being taller.

The southern, eastern, and western elevations have not been inspected since 1998. The villa has two-pane timber sash and case windows and a piended grey slate roof. Tall sandstone ashlar wallhead stacks with a moulded band course are present on the eastern and western sides, topped with octagonal cans.

The boundary wall defines the northern edge of the slightly raised terrace on which the house is situated. It consists of a low coursed whinstone wall with rounded sandstone coping and wide sandstone margins at the corners. The wall steps up to meet adjoining properties and returns to the center, where it adjoins steps leading up to the entrance level. The wall was formerly railed.
