Description
35-39 High Street in Selkirk is a mid-19th century terraced tenement with later additions and alterations. The building is two stories tall with an attic and features three bays. The ground floor has a pend entrance and a shop. The ground floor is finished in painted polished ashlar, while the first floor and the rear addition are covered in painted harl with droved dressings. There is a base course, a band course between the floors, and an eaves course.
On the southeast elevation facing High Street, the pend entrance is located on the left, and to the right is a tripartite shopfront. The shopfront includes a two-leaf panelled door with an internal glazed door and a rectangular plate glass fanlight above the center, flanked by fixed plate glass shop windows. The first floor has a window in each bay.
The northwest elevation features a large addition that projects from the rear. The building has four-pane timber sash and case windows and a slate roof with ashlar coped mutual stacks and two dormers.
