12 High Street, Hawick

12 High Street in Hawick is a three-storey, five-bay building designed by John Dick Peddie and dated 1857. This former bank, which is part of a terrace, features a square plan and a piend roof, showcasing a Classical Palazzo style. The exterior is made of pale grey sandstone ashlar with black slate cladding at the base and ground-floor plinths, while the rear is rendered.

The building has a base course and a floreate frieze below a corniced cill course on the first floor, with a Greek key frieze below the corniced cill course on the second floor. The stone-bracketed eaves cornice is adorned with rosettes. Rusticated quoins and broad pilasters separate the bays on the first floor. The ground and first floors have round-arched openings, while the second floor features basket-arched windows, all with corniced margins. Access is provided by three slate steps leading to two-leaf, eight-panel timber doors with fanlights, set in consoled, corniced architraves at the outer bays.

The ground floor has fixed glazing with 'fan'-pattern timber glazing bars, while the upper floors feature four-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows. The rear predominantly has 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows. The building is topped with a grey slate roof that has metal ridges and long, corniced ashlar end stacks with short, circular, buff clay cans.

Inside, there are some timber-panelled shutters.
