Description

16 Newtown Street in Duns is an 18th-century terraced house that has been refronted. It is two stories high and has four bays. The facade features cement render that mimics ashlar stone, with a base course and raised margins, and the windows are arranged in a regular pattern. On the ground floor, there is a modern door in the inner left bay and a boarded service door in the right bay. The first floor has smaller windows. The eastern gable end is made of blank sandstone and is adjacent to a single-storey wing of No 14.

The rear elevation is not visible. The house has 4-pane timber sash and case windows, and the roof features ashlar coped mutual skews and red brick stacks. It has a steeply pitched roof covered with grey slates and includes three large Velux rooflights.
