Description
1 High Street in Selkirk is a mid-19th century building that likely includes some earlier elements, along with later additions and alterations. It is a three-storey, two-bay structure that features a shop on the ground floor and is part of a terrace. The exterior is made of painted whinstone rubble with ashlar dressings, which are now rendered, and includes an eaves course.
On the southeast elevation, there is a shop window and a glazed door in the left bay, accompanied by a fascia. Above this, there is a window on each floor. The right bay has a segmental-arched yard entrance at ground level, with a window on each floor above.
The northwest elevation features a full-height projection in the right bay, along with an additional two-storey extension. The windows are plate glass timber sash and case types. The roof is slate-covered, with an ashlar coped mutual stack on the southwest side and a harled and coped mutual stack on the northeast side.
The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 1995.
