Harelawside, Grantshouse

Harelawside in Grantshouse is likely an 18th century house with later additions and alterations. It is a symmetrical, two-storey, three-bay structure with a lower, two-storey, full-width range attached at the rear, and a further single-storey, gabled wing that projects at the back, forming a near L-plan. The building is constructed from whinstone and sandstone rubble, partly squared at the front, with red sandstone dressings and whitewashed harl on the northeast side. The quoins are made of droved sandstone, and there are long and short surrounds to the openings, with projecting cills throughout.

On the southeast (entrance) elevation, there is an iron-balustraded stone stair leading to a deep-set, part-glazed timber panelled door that is centered at the ground level, topped by a four-pane fanlight. There are single windows flanking the entrance on the ground floor, and single windows in all bays on the first floor.

The southwest (side) elevation features a gabled block on the right with a single window at ground level and another at the first floor to the left. The lower block on the left has single windows centered on both floors, while there is a single-storey wing to the outer left.

On the northwest (rear) elevation, there is a gabled projection on the outer right with a single attic light centered in the apex. A taller gable set behind has a single window at the first floor, offset to the left of center, and a timber door at ground level in the subsequent bay to the left, along with a small opening at ground level to the outer left.

The northeast (side) elevation is M-gabled. The gabled block on the left has single windows on both floors to the outer left, while the gabled block on the right has a small opening at ground level to the left, a bipartite window aligned at the first floor, and single windows on both floors to the right. There is a single-storey wing recessed to the outer right.

The windows predominantly feature 12-pane glazing, with some later 4-pane glazing, in timber sash and case style. The roofs are covered with grey slate and have stone-coped skews, with corniced apex stacks and various circular cans.

The interior was not seen in 1999. The garden is enclosed by rubble-coped rubble walls.
