Description
The Plough Inn, located on High Street in Town Yetholm, dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century, with remodels and extensions made from the late 19th to early 20th century. This two-storey, three-bay inn has been expanded to five bays with an extension to the south and features a four-bay single-storey addition also to the south. The building is harled with painted dressings, and the raised window surrounds are painted black.
On the west elevation, which serves as the entrance, there is an advanced doorway with a lugged surround in the second bay, topped by a decorative iron and glass canopy. The entrance features a two-leaf panelled door, with a single window above it on the first floor. There are single windows in the first, third, and fourth bays, and a single window with a pedimented surround in the ground floor of the fifth bay, along with a cellar hatch in the first bay. The four-bay single-storey addition on the outer right has a doorway in the first bay and single windows in the remaining bays.
The east elevation, or rear, showcases an advanced two-storey gabled addition from the 19th century at the centre, with three bays to the left return and a window at the first floor of the east gable. There is a lean-to to the left of centre with a single window at the first floor above, and a doorway on the outer left with a window above it.
The windows throughout are plate glass sash and case with two-pane upper sashes. The roof is covered with grey slate and features three brick ridge stacks, a snowguard on the west side, and skewputts.
Inside, the interior has been much altered, although some decorative plaster cornices remain. The property also includes outbuildings and boundary walls, featuring a two-storey harled outbuilding with a steeply pitched roof and louvred openings on the first floor, as well as a single-storey outbuilding to the rear. The boundary walls are made of harled and coped rubble.
