Description
12 Howegate in Hawick is an earlier 19th-century, three-storey, three-bay terraced tenement that has been redeveloped by Aitken & Turnbull in the late 20th century. It is set on a sloping site, featuring painted rubble at the ground floor and roughly coursed rubble with droved ashlar dressings, raised painted ashlar margins, and projecting cills on the upper storeys. The rear is harled.
The ground floor has an asymmetrical four-bay shopfront, while the upper storeys display irregularly spaced bays and irregular fenestration at the rear. To the left of the rear, there is a full-height, piend-roofed stair tower.
The shop windows are made of plate glass, and the upper floors predominantly feature 12-pane glazing in timber sash-and-case windows, while the rear has predominantly 4-pane glazing in timber sash-and-case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a coped, rendered gablehead stack with circular clay cans. The building also includes cast-iron rainwater goods.
