12 Ettrick Terrace, Selkirk

12 Ettrick Terrace in Selkirk is a later 19th-century, three-storey, five-bay building situated on rising ground to the southeast. The ground floor is constructed of whinstone rubble, while the upper storeys feature roughly squared and snecked whinstone with droved sandstone ashlar dressings. The northeast and southwest elevations are harled, also with droved ashlar dressings. Notable architectural details include a cill course at the first floor, a band course between the first and second floors, flush droved ashlar long and short quoins, and droved ashlar tails to the openings.

On the northwest elevation facing Ettrick Terrace, there are small window openings at the ground and second floor of the inner bays. The central bay is advanced and features a window on each storey, with a gabled dormerhead at the second floor that breaks the eaves. To the left, there is a four-leaf boarded door at the ground level of the inner bay, which has glazed inner leaves and louvred outer leaves, along with a window above on each floor. The outer bays also have windows on each floor that break the eaves, similar to the central bay. The inner right bay mirrors the inner left, except it has no window at the ground level. The wall is swept at the ground and first floor to the outer right, leading to the southwest elevation.

The southwest elevation features a platformed bow at the ground and first floors, with a window at the first floor. Above this, there is a gabled section at the second floor.

The southeast elevation consists of a two-storey, four-bay group with a band course between the storeys. The inner right bay has a window at both the ground and first floors. The inner left bay features a louvred opening at the ground and a window at the first floor above. There is a boarded door in the outer left bay, accompanied by a three-pane rectangular fanlight, with a narrow window to the left. This bay also has a window at the first floor that breaks the eaves with a gabled dormerhead. A similar door and fanlight are found in the outer right bay, flanked by narrow windows, with a window at the first floor that also breaks the eaves with a gabled dormerhead.

The building has eight-pane and four-pane timber sash and case windows, though some alterations to the glazing are noted at the ground level of the northwest elevation. The roof is slate, with plain bargeboarding on the dormerheads. The building features ashlar coped skews, an ashlar coped wallhead stack on the southwest, and a shouldered angled coped ashlar stack to the outer left of the southwest elevation, originating from the platform at the first floor. There is also a later harled wallhead stack on the southeast, to the right of the outer right bay.

The interior was not seen in 1996.
