20 Buccleuch Street, 18, Hawick

16 Buccleuch Street in Hawick is a terraced block built around 1820, featuring three storeys and a basement. It includes a three-bay former inn with a central pend and outbuildings at the rear, as well as two two-bay houses. The building is constructed from roughly squared, coursed whinstone, rendered at the rear, with droved, painted ashlar dressings. It has a continuous moulded eaves cornice, rusticated quoins, and tabbed margins.

The former Grapes Inn, now converted into flats, has a central depressed arch with rusticated long and short quoins and voussoirs on the main elevation, leading to the pend with doors on the left and right walls. At the back of the courtyard, there is a detached parallel block featuring a circular stair tower with stone steps leading to a basement-level entrance at the front and additional stone steps to a raised entrance platform on the side. The left section of this block has a polygonal stair tower, and there are cast-iron balustrades with fleur-de-lys finials on the cantilevered walkways extending from the first and second floors to the three-storey outer left section, which runs behind Nos 18 and 20. Some timber-boarded doors are also present. Inside, there are stone stairs and some timber-panelled doors.

Nos 18 and 20 are identical houses, each with four stone steps leading to a recessed, timber-panelled door with a fanlight, set within a round-arched, hollow-chamfered, key-blocked, roll-moulded architrave that features raised outer quoins and voussoirs. The houses have some four-pane glazing in timber sash-and-case windows, ashlar-coped skews, and ashlar-coped ridge stacks with circular clay cans. There are also some cast-iron rainwater goods.
