Description
19 West High Street in Lauder is an earlier to mid-19th century, two-storey, three-bay double-fronted end of terrace cottage. It appears to have been raised by one storey during the mid-19th century. The building features a single storey and attic/single storey rear wing. The principal (west) elevation is constructed of coursed dressed whinstone with droved painted ashlar dressings, while the other elevations are made of whinstone rubble. Notable architectural details include quoins, coped skew putts, and architraved openings with projecting cills on the principal elevation.
On the west elevation, there is a central entrance with a plain timber door and a rectangular fanlight, flanked by windows on each floor and an additional window above. The left side of the ground floor has a window, with a smaller window above it. The lower-height wing projects to the right, featuring a single storey and attic section that adjoins the main body of the cottage. This wing has an entrance with a boarded timber door and a three-light rectangular fanlight to the left of its left return, along with a window to the right and a piended dormer above. A single storey section projects from the gable end.
The south elevation is a blank gable end, while the north elevation adjoins No 21 West High Street. The principal elevation has PVCu windows, while the other elevations feature timber sash and case windows, including 12-pane windows in the rear wing. The roofs are covered in grey slate, except for the single storey section, which has a corrugated asbestos roof. The main body of the cottage has flanking coursed stone and rubble ridge stacks with band courses, round cans, and a coped gablehead stack on the single and attic storey section of the rear wing.
The interior was not inspected in 1998.
