Description
15 and 17 High Street in Selkirk is an early 19th-century building that underwent extensive alterations in the later 19th century, along with further additions and modifications. It is a 2-storey structure with an attic and features three bays, set in a terrace that is advanced in front of the line of No 23 High Street. The ground floor contains a shop, and the southeast elevation is finished in painted bull-faced render, while the building also includes whinstone rubble with stugged and droved ashlar dressings. Notable architectural details include a base course, a band course between the ground and first floor, and a cornice above the shop fascia, along with an eaves course and quoin strips.
On the southeast elevation facing High Street, there is a modern shop front at ground level featuring a 2-leaf glazed door set back, with a plate glass rectangular fanlight above it to the left of centre. Flanking this are plate glass fixed pane shop windows. Each bay at the first floor has a near-square window, grouped towards the centre.
The northwest elevation consists of two bays. It has a full-height canted 3-light window in the left bay, while the right bay features a window at ground level with a boarded door to the left, which has a 2-pane rectangular fanlight above it. There is a tripartite window at the first floor above this bay.
On the southwest elevation, there is a panelled door to the outer right, with a round-arched stair window above that has colored glass and a glazed border.
The northwest elevation has plate glass timber sash and case windows, except for a modern metal-framed window at ground level in the right bay and modern glazing at the first floor of the southeast elevation. The building has a slate roof, with half-piended roofs above each bay on the northwest side and canted piended dormers in the outer bays of the southeast elevation. An ashlar coped mutual stack is located on the northeast side.
Inside, the rear property features encaustic tiles in the hall and a cast-iron banister on the stairs.
