Friars House, Friarsgate, Jedburgh

Friars House, located on Friarsgate in Jedburgh, dates from the mid to later 18th century and features later additions. It is a two-storey, three-bay rectangular house that backs onto higher ground to the west, with single-storey additions to the north and south. The exterior is constructed of sandstone rubble, squared for dressings, with painted margins.

On the east elevation, the three bays are grouped irregularly, with an off-centre door to the right that has a light timber porch addition. There is a small window on the first floor, and windows in each floor of the flanking bays, with the ground floor window on the outer right being notably enlarged. The south elevation is harled and features later single-storey lean-to outbuildings made of rubble sandstone at ground level.

The west elevation is single-storey and sits on raised ground, with two small windows. The north elevation is also harled and includes a recessed bay that links the house to a single-storey, single-bay section that has been absorbed from a neighbouring cottage row to the north, which may also date from the 18th century. The east elevation has 12-pane timber sash and case windows, including one with a two-pane upper sash. The roof is covered with grey-green slates, and there are harled end stacks on the steeply pitched gables.
