5 Slitrig Crescent, Hawick

4 Slitrig Crescent in Hawick is a terrace of three houses built around 1815. Each house is two stories high and has three bays with gabled roofs. The main construction is mostly coursed whinstone rubble, featuring tabbed, droved ashlar margins, with some squared sandstone at the rear. An eaves course runs along the top.

Number 3 has a central doorway and two dormers with piended roofs positioned symmetrically in the attic. The margins are raised, and the rear has irregular openings with raised margins.

Number 4 features a central pend with a segmental arch and keystone. There is a moulded architrave on the left ground-floor window and a bipartite stone-mullioned window at the first floor. A blocked, flat-headed dormer is located to the left in the attic. At the rear, there is a full-height gabled wing with irregular fenestration.

Number 5 has three stone steps leading to a central recessed four-panel timber door with a rectangular fanlight. There are rectangular windows on either side of the door, and a wide pend on the outer right. The first floor has regular fenestration, and the margins are painted. There is a single-storey wing at the rear. Inside, there is a decorative cast-iron balustrade at the first-floor landing.

The principal elevation of Number 5 features 4-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, while the front openings of Numbers 3 and 4 are now blocked. The rear mostly has non-traditional windows. The houses have ashlar-coped skews and later ashlar-coped brick ridge stacks with some circular buff clay cans. The roof is covered in grey slate, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods.

The boundary walls are head-height, made of ashlar-coped rubble, extending forward from the left of the pend entrance at Number 4 and between the forecourts of Numbers 4 and 5.
