Burnbank, St Abbs Road, Coldingham

Burnbank is a house located on St Abbs Road in Coldingham, built in the earlier 19th century with later additions and alterations, and includes an 18th century cottage. The building is a symmetrical, two-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan house, with an earlier single-storey, three-bay former cottage attached to the right, and various single-storey additions at the rear. It is constructed from rubble with sandstone dressings, featuring stugged quoins and long and short surrounds to the openings, with rendered margins on the single-storey cottage. There are brick relieving arches above the ground floor openings on the left and projecting cills throughout.

On the south (entrance) elevation, the principal block has a timber panelled door at the centre of the ground floor, with a two-pane fanlight above it. There is a single window aligned at the first floor and single windows in both flanking bays. The single-storey cottage to the right has a boarded timber door at the centre and single windows in the flanking bays.

The north (rear) elevation features single-storey projections at the ground floor and single windows at the first floor, with a single-storey range recessed to the outer left.

The windows predominantly have four-pane glazing in timber sash and case styles, with some small-pane glazing in the single-storey cottage and small rooflights. The main block has a grey slate roof with stone-coped skews and brick-built apex stacks with circular cans. The single-storey range has a pantiled roof and a brick-built apex stack, although the can is missing.

The interior was not seen in 1999.

The property is enclosed by low coped rubble walls at the front, topped with plain iron railings and iron pedestrian gates. Taller rubble walls enclose the garden to the east.
