By Galashiels, Whitelee House

Whitelee House is a mid-19th century Scottish-Renaissance country house, with an interior designed in 1929 by Cowie and Seaton. The building is two stories tall, features five bays, and has gabled roofs with pedimented dormers that break the eaves. It is constructed of harled rubble with sandstone ashlar dressings and chamfered margins, and is topped with fleur-de-lys finials on the gables. The southeast corner has a curved entrance porch with a timber door. The west elevation has regular fenestration, with the outer bays advanced and canted to the ground. To the north, there is a recessed, three-bay former servants' wing, which is connected to a single-storey outbuilding with a piend roof. The east elevation has irregular fenestration.

Inside, the circular entrance porch features a mosaic patterned floor. A long central spine corridor runs the length of the house. The principal ground floor rooms have panelled and beaded timber walls, with segmental-arched surrounds to the canted window bays. There is a roll-moulded stone fireplace in the former 'smoking room', and an octagonal cupola with decorative leadwork above the stair in the north wing. The windows are timber sash and case with 12-pane glazing. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there is a regular arrangement of ridge and end stacks with clay cans, along with cast-iron rainwater goods.
