Raised long-and-short quoins to right at 1st and 2nd floors. Regular fenestration to front; irregular fenestration to rear. INTERIOR: Some cornices; some panelling around windows.
Modern plate glass shop windows; predominantly plate glass in timber sash-and-case windows elsewhere. Grey slate roof. Ashlar-coped skews.

Two of the earlier buildings on High Street at the centre of Hawick. Although altered at ground-floor and attic levels, they retain their original proportions and the original fenestration pattern at first and second floors, and are of high value to the streetscape.
The ground floor previously comprised a separate shop for each building, but is now a single shop space. Neither the first-floor cill and lintel courses nor the dormers at No 3 are evident in archive photographs of circa 1910, but all had been added by 1957.
The upper floors of No 1 are reached via a side door to Mill Port, while those of No 3 are accessed by the door to the right of the principal elevation. The latter originally comprised a single house, but has been subdivided into two: one flat on the 1st floor and a further residence on the 2nd and attic floors. List description revised as part of the Hawick Burgh Resurvey (2008).
