Dryburgh Abbey House

Dryburgh Abbey House has an 18th century core, with additions made by John Smith in 1839 and a rebuilding after a fire by Henry Francis Kerr between 1892 and 1894. The house is two stories high, with a basement and attic, and features a five-bay symmetrical principal elevation facing north, which includes a central entrance. At the rear, there is a later three-bay gabled section with bowed and canted bays.

Wide steps lead up to the central entrance, which is flanked by Ionic columns. The front and the bowed and canted bays have wallhead balustrading, while the sides feature a crenellated wallhead, corner bartizans, and tripartite windows on the west bay. The building is constructed of coursed ashlar stone.

The windows are predominantly sash and case, with 12-pane glazing. The roof has corniced rectangular ridge and gable stacks topped with plain cans.
