Description

27 High Street in Selkirk is a terraced tenement building dating from 1884, featuring later additions and alterations. It stands three stories tall and consists of three bays, with shops located on the ground floor. The building is constructed of bull-faced sandstone on the first and second floors, accented with polished ashlar dressings, while the rear is made of whinstone rubble. Architectural details include a cornice above the shop fascia, an eaves course, flush long and short quoins, stop-chamfered arrises, and tabbed window margins with semi-circular lintel details.

On the southeast elevation facing High Street, there are paired doors in the center bay, with a two-leaf panelled door to the left and a panelled door leading to No 25 on the right, both topped with a plate glass rectangular fanlight. A window on the first floor features a datestone above it. The right bay has a two-leaf panelled door flanked by a fixed plate glass window on the outer right, with a bipartite window above on both the first and second floors, which breaks the eaves with a gabled and finialled dormer head. To the outer left, there is a plate glass fixed window with a panelled stallriser, flanked by a narrow fixed plate glass window that was formerly a door. The windows in this bay match those in the right bay on the first and second floors.

The northwest elevation is partially obscured and was last seen in 1995. It features single-storey additions projecting from the outer bays, with a later brick window breaking the eaves in the outer left bay.

The building has plate glass timber sash and case windows and a slate roof with ashlar coped stacks. There is also a two-pane 19th-century rooflight on both the southeast and northwest sides. The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 1995.
