Description

28 Newtown Street in Duns is an 18th and 19th century end-of-terrace house that incorporates some earlier fabric. This two-storey and attic building features three bays and includes a shop on the ground floor, situated on a corner site. The exterior is harled with some areas of render, and it has cement rendered margins that are partly painted.

The south elevation facing Newtown Street is a regular two-storey, three-bay design, rendered at the ground level with a band course above. A panelled door to the house is located at the center, flanked by windows, with the left window enlarged for the shop. There are windows in each first-floor bay.

The west elevation, which faces Gourlay's Wynd, has a two-bay gable end. The render and band course continue here, including a glazed shop door to the right, with windows to the left and in the first-floor bays. A round-headed window is positioned at the center of the steep gablehead.

The north elevation at the rear features three bays, with the right bay being blank. There are windows in the center bay, and to the left, there are outbuildings at ground level with a window above.

The outbuildings consist of a piend-roofed single-storey L-plan structure attached to the left at the rear, which abuts the boundary wall. This includes a window and a door in the re-entrant angle.

The windows throughout the building are timber sash and case, with 12- and 4-pane designs on the ground floor, plate glass on the first floor, and multi-pane windows in the attic. The building features very steep coped skews, grey slate roofing, and rebuilt brick stacks.

The interior was not seen in 1993.
