Description

St. Peter's Old Rectory, located on Kingsmeadows Road in Peebles, is a robust villa built in the late 19th century. It is two stories high and features four bays, constructed from whinstone with red sandstone dressings. The building has stone mullioned and transomed windows with chamfered reveals, and the first-floor windows break the eaves, topped with gabled dormerheads. The eaves are overhanging and display exposed rafters.

On the north elevation, the entrance features a doorpiece with a 4-centred arch in the center left bay, leading to a boarded door with decorative wrought-iron hinges and a cusped fanlight. Above the door is a gabled timber canopy with cross-bracing and open timber brackets. The first floor has a bipartite window, without a transom, that breaks the eaves with a swept dormerhead. To the left, there is a tripartite window with a relieving arch at the ground level and a bipartite window above it. The center right bay is advanced and gabled, with bipartite windows featuring relieving arches on both floors. The right bay has a bipartite window at the ground level (with a relieving arch) and a single window on the first floor.

The east elevation is gabled and has a single window on each floor at the center, with an apex stack. The south elevation consists of four bays, with the right and center left bays featuring canted windows at the ground level (bipartite at the front), solid parapets, and bipartite windows on the first floor. The center right bay includes bipartite windows, with a smaller window at ground level and a stair window above. The left bay has single windows on both floors.

The west elevation is M-gabled with irregular fenestration, showcasing a variety of timber sash and case windows, where the 4-pane upper sashes slide behind the mullions. The roof is covered with grey slates and features terracotta ridge tiles with finials, along with coped ashlar dressed stacks.

Surrounding the property are rubble boundary walls topped with saddleback ashlar coping and some boulder coping. There are two pairs of square ashlar gatepiers with flattened pyramidal caps.
