Description

This is a late 19th century terrace of ten dwellings, arranged in four blocks and fronting Queen Street in Jedburgh. The primary facades are built of cream-coloured ashlar stone, with stugged detailing, while secondary facades are of red sandstone. The ashlar margins are stop-chamfered, and have cills. The doors are panelled and feature rectangular fanlights above. The building incorporates canted dormers with piend roofs, finished with slate. Gablehead and mutual gable stacks rise above the roofline, with two blocks to the south, stepping slightly on the rising ground, and a northern block being identical, each containing three dwellings. A central block provides access to storage sheds for each dwelling via a broad pend, which is covered by a concrete lintel and accesses Flat No 7 above.

The west-facing (Queen Street) elevation has fourteen bays, arranged with near-symmetrical three-bay and one two-bay entrance fronts. The fenestration is regular, and the central bays feature closely grouped, narrower windows at ground level, with doors positioned between the bays. A door with a letterbox fanlight is located to the immediate right of the pend in the two-bay block (No 7). A dormer window tops each bay. The north elevation is a blank ashlar wall with a gablehead stack.

The east-facing (rear) elevation displays four blocks, three with three symmetrical bays, and one with two bays (at the pend). Bipartite windows and a dormer are centrally positioned, with single windows and dormers flanking. The left-hand block incorporates a single-storey, piend-roofed cloakroom and entrance porch adjoining the outer bay. The pend block has two windows on the first floor and dormers. This elevation is visible from the by-pass. The south elevation presents two widely spaced bays; ground-floor doors have now been glazed into windows, with windows positioned above. A set-back porch is situated to the right.

The porch's south elevation is constructed of rubble with ashlar margins, featuring a bipartite window to the right of the door, and a blank return wall to the east. It faces into, and is entered from, the garden of Queen Mary's House. The north elevation is rendered and features a door and a plain single window to the left.

All windows retain their original four-pane timber sash and case glazing, with two panes to the sidelights of the dormers, except for the doors that have been converted into windows on the south elevation at ground level. Coped ashlar stacks and slates are topped with grey slates. Moulded rainwater heads, downpipes (located between the blocks), and gutters are also present. Original brass door furniture, including distinctive lion door knockers, remains in all dwellings except Nos 8 and 9.
