Eagle Hotel, 1 Market Place, Lauder

The Eagle Hotel, located at 1 Market Place, Lauder, dates to the later 18th century, with subsequent alterations and additions. Originally conceived as a hotel, it was formerly a terrace of likely two separate houses. The main building is a two-storey and attic block, accompanied by a two-storey wing and various lean-to additions, along with single- and two-storey outbuildings arranged around a courtyard to the northeast.

The building is harled, with painted stone dressings, and one early whinstone rubble outbuilding to the rear. Stone surrounds the openings on the principal and northwest elevations.

The southwest (principal) elevation has six bays. Entrances are located in the second and fifth bays from the left, with windows flanking each. A window occupies each bay on the first floor, except for the first floor of the third bay from the left. A later breaking-eaves gable features a pointed-headed dormer in the second bay from the right, along with flanking inserted polygonal piended dormers, and a further dormer positioned between the first and second bays.

The northwest elevation shows the gable end of the original block on the right, with a ground floor window. A slightly later wing is adjacent to the left, featuring a ground floor window centrally positioned and a small inserted window to the right. Three windows are present on the first floor of this wing. A single-storey outbuilding runs alongside the left, with an entrance and a large entrance with a sliding door to the outer left.

The northeast elevation displays a slightly later lean-to section that adjoins much of the original block at eaves level. Two windows are present on the first floor. A late 20th century flat-roofed single-storey addition projects below, containing an entrance and a narrow window to the right. A large, later 20th century flat-roofed timber dormer is set back on the original block. The gable end of the two-storey wing projects to the right, displaying a first floor window on the return. A gable of a single-storey outbuilding projects below. The original block is inset to the outer left, with a small two-storey lean-to addition where the main lean-to addition joins; this section contains an entrance with a window above. A narrow single-storey addition extends from the original block to the outer left, connecting to a former stable block.

The southeast elevation adjoins No. 3 Market Place.

The outbuildings northeast of the main building include a two-storey rectangular-plan early whinstone rubble stable block which occupies much of the east side of the courtyard. The northwest elevation of this block features a near-central ground floor entrance, with a hayloft opening immediately above, and small, irregularly-spaced windows on each floor (with one to the left of the hayloft blocked). The southwest elevation has a late 20th century inserted ground floor entrance, a hayloft entrance above, and a narrow single-storey addition adjoining the original block to the right. A later single-storey stable block extends to an L-plan to the southeast, featuring two entrances to the southeast elevation of the original block, a window to the right, an addition to the right with a short section projecting at a right angle, and an entrance with a window to the left return.

The interior at ground floor level has been largely modernised.
