Description
14 Buccleuch Street in Hawick is an early 19th-century terraced building that features later additions. It is a three-storey, three-bay structure with a shop on the ground floor and flats above, alongside two-storey workshops that surround a courtyard at the rear. The building is constructed from roughly coursed whinstone, with moulded ashlar window margins on the front and droved red sandstone ashlar dressings elsewhere, while some later extensions are made of brick. The principal elevation has a deep base course and a moulded eaves course.
The shop front on the main (southern) elevation includes two stone steps leading to a central doorway, which has a two-pane rectangular fanlight flanked by plain pilasters. There are large display windows on either side, and a close doorway with a multi-pane fanlight to the outer right, topped by a plain fascia. The rear (northern) elevation of the main block is two-storey and has an attic, featuring an advanced section in the centre and left. It has a central window and outer doorways on the ground floor, with a forestair leading to the first floor, which has a tripartite stone-mullioned window. A modern extension is present in the attic. The courtyard elevation of the eastern range shows irregular fenestration and includes a metal external stair to the right. The northern range has a brick upper storey and a lean-to on the southern elevation.
The windows predominantly feature a four-pane glazing pattern in timber sash-and-case style, with some evidence of an earlier twelve-pane pattern. The building has ashlar-coped skews and banded gablehead stacks with circular buff clay cans. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a metal ridge.
Inside, the building boasts decorative 19th-century floor tiles at the shop entrance and in the central stairwell. There is a curved stair with decorative cast-iron balusters and a wooden handrail, along with some four-panel timber doors, window panelling, chimneypieces, and cornices.
