Green Tree Inn, Eastgate, Peebles

The Green Tree Inn is a hotel located at Eastgate in Peebles, with architectural elements from the early and late 19th century, as well as the early 20th century. It was altered by JD Cairns and Ford in 1974 and is situated on a corner site, unified by a white painted render and green cement mouldings.

The south block, dating from the early 19th century, is a regular two-storey, five-bay structure with a two-bay gable facing Eastgate. It features large windows in each bay on both floors, with moulded architraves and cills. There is a cornice course at the ground level and a cill course at the first floor. The building has a base course and moulded eaves with a cast-iron gutter acting as a cornice. A gablet skewputt is present on the southwest side. The rear elevation is blank and adjoins a garage at ground level.

The north block, from the late 19th century, is a two-storey and attic, three-bay extension of the earlier block. It has three gabled ashlar wallhead dormers with stop-chamfered arrises, although this block is largely obscured by a later addition.

The northwest block, built in the early 20th century, is a picturesque single-storey section with a base course. The earlier northern section features a cornice and a parapet that is part balustraded and part decorative cast-iron, along with a diminutive swan-necked pediment at the centre and urns on pedestals. There is a round tower to the south with a pepperpot roof and a ball finial behind a shaped parapet. On Venlaw Road, there is a double Venetian window with a cill course and three square windows. To the south, a later and lower entrance block obscures two northern bays of the first block, featuring a tripartite window to the west and a paired door and window facing Eastgate, along with a cornice and cast-iron brattishing.

The windows throughout are timber sash and case with plate glass. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are ashlar coped skews and coped apex stacks, with the southern stack being corniced.

The interior was not seen in 1994.
