2 High Street, Hawick

2 High Street in Hawick is a mid-19th century building with a 20th-century wing at the rear. It is a three-storey and attic, three-bay tenement and shop that is part of a terrace, featuring Baronial-style gabled dormers that break the eaves. The shopfront is made of painted ashlar, while the upper part of the building is constructed from tooled yellow sandstone ashlar with polished ashlar dressings. The rear is made of roughly squared yellow sandstone with polished ashlar dressings, and the rear wing is rendered with yellow sandstone ashlar quoins.

The shopfront has plain stall risers and a consoled, corniced fascia. There is a cill course at the first floor and a continuous hoodmould at the second floor, with the eaves course interrupted by the dormers. The building features decorative, stop-chamfered margins. The shallow, three-storey wing at the rear has a piend roof.

The shopfront includes a central recessed, half-glazed timber door flanked by large shop windows with central vertical glazing bars. The first floor has decoratively shaped margins with cusped detailing, and the second floor features slightly raised cills with deep corbels. The gabled dormers have kneelered skews and fleur-de-lys finials. A plaque commemorating Adam Grant is located between the first-floor windows to the right. The rear elevation has a three-storey wing to the left and regularly spaced windows with raised cills in two bays to the right.

The shop windows are made of plate glass, while the windows above have four-pane glazing in timber sash and case style. The rear predominantly features 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a metal ridge, with an ashlar-coped skew to the south and coped ashlar stacks with circular buff clay cans.
