Statement of Interest

A good, traditional, early 19th-century house (now subdivided into ground-floor and basement offices and two-storey upper flat), forming the terminal block of a prominently positioned range of early 19th-century buildings united by their shared use of whinstone, painted ashlar dressings and tabbed margins. Buccleuch Street was laid out west of Hawick's medieval burgh boundary from 1815 in response to industrial expansion, replacing Langbaulk Road as the principal road south.

The offices are now (2007) the premises of Aitken & Turnbull, the successors to the practice of prominent late19th and early 20th century Hawick architect James Pearson Alison. List description revised and category changed from B to C(S) following resurvey (2008).
