Mill House, 1 Slitrig Crescent, Hawick

Mill House, dating from around 1805, is a two-storey, three-bay, symmetrical traditional house with a gabled roof. It has an adjoining single-storey former stable block, located to the south. The main structure is built of squared, snecked whinstone with yellow sandstone ashlar dressings and a polished yellow sandstone doorpiece. The stable block features random whinstone rubble with red sandstone ashlar dressings. The building has long and short quoins and tabbed margins.

Access to the principal elevation of Mill House is via three stone steps that lead to a timber-boarded door topped by a two-pane fanlight set within a corniced architrave. There is a small late-20th-century secondary entrance extension at the rear. The front elevation has regular fenestration, while the north gable features a single central window at ground level. The rear has irregular fenestration, including a dormer that was once a hay loft entrance on the stable block.

Mill House predominantly has 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, while the stable block has a four-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slate, and features ashlar-coped sawtooth skews with moulded skewputts, as well as ashlar-coped, rendered stacks with circular cans. Zinc rainwater goods are present.

The boundary wall surrounding the garden to the west and north is a low rubble wall topped with a droved, curved ashlar cope and chamfered ashlar gatepiers.

Inside Mill House, there is a timber staircase with decorative cast-iron balusters and a timber handrail. The interior features some timber window shutters, timber panelling around the windows, dado panelling, a timber chimneypiece, and four-panel timber doors throughout, along with plain cornices.
