Description

3 Market Place in Selkirk is a two-storey, three-bay tenement building dating from around 1815, with later alterations and additions. It is part of a terrace and features a shop at the ground level. The building is constructed of rubble with red sandstone detailing around the first-floor windows, while the rear elevation is harled. It has raised painted quoins, a base course, a band course between the ground and first floors, as well as an eaves course, cornice, and blocking course.

On the southeast elevation, there is a modern two-leaf glazed door at the center, topped by a rectangular fanlight made of plate glass. Flanking the door are glazed 19th-century shop windows, which are supported by pilasters and feature corbelled fascias. Each bay on the first floor has a window, and there are panelled tablets at the center and at the outer edges of the blocking course. A pend entrance is located to the outer right, featuring an ashlar square column with a cornice to the right.

The northwest elevation is gabled and has a window in the left bay on the first floor, with an opening at the ground level to the outer left. The building has six-pane timber sash and case windows and a slate roof, which includes piended canted dormers on the southeast elevation in the outer bays. There is a stack located to the left. The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 1995.
