Description

49 High Street in Peebles is a three-storey terraced shop built in 1873, featuring flats above and a hall at the rear. The building is constructed from squared snecked and stugged cream sandstone ashlar with polished dressings. It has a regular arrangement of windows, with stop-chamfered arrises and segmental-headed windows. There is a segmental-headed pend to the right at ground level and a modern plate glass shopfront to the left. The first floor has roll-moulded lintels, while the second floor features a stepped corbel course. The windows on this floor break the eaves, with gabled dormer heads that are slightly corbelled out at the eaves. A framed central window is set in the gablehead, which includes a datestone. The hall at the rear is harled, and the building has four-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slates and features ashlar-coped skews, corbel skewputts, and coped ashlar apex stacks. Inside, the hall at the rear of the shop boasts an open timber hammerbeam roof.
