Description

Early 19th century with later additions. Two regularly fenestrated, traditional, terraced residential blocks. Roughly squared, coursed whinstone with painted, droved sandstone ashlar dressings and tabbed margins.

NO 10: 2-storey, basement and attic principal (S) elevation with 4 bays to ground floor and 3 bays above. Blocked basement windows; 3 stone steps to recessed front door with fanlight in round-arched architrave; round-arched opening to pend at outer right; flat-roofed central dormer flanked by canted dormers. Full-height, polygonal, rendered central stair tower and 2 canted dormers to rear. Attached single-storey and attic, yellow brick house to W side of rear courtyard.

NO 12: 2-storey and basement principal (S) elevation with 4 bays to ground floor and 3 bays above. Blocked basement windows; 3 stone steps to recessed main door with rectangular fanlight; secondary door with rectangular multi-pane fanlight to outer right.

4-pane glazing pattern in timber sash and case windows to No 10; Non-traditional uPVC windows to No 12. Grey slate roofs, graded at No 10 and uniform at No 12; coped ashlar and brick stacks with circular clay cans.

Statement of Special Interest

A well-proportioned traditional early 19th-century building with some fine detailing. These were some of the original buildings of Buccleuch Street, which was laid out west of the medieval burgh boundary from 1815 in response to industrial expansion, replacing Langbaulk Road as the principal road south.

On John Wood's map (1824), No 10 is labelled 'Dr Graham' and No 12 'Mr Miller'. This map shows no stair tower or rear wing at No 10, and a shallower plan at No 12. The plans of the principal parts of both buildings had reached their present extent, and a rear wing at No 10 had been added (with the same footprint as the more recent extension that now stands there), by the time of the OS Town Plan of 1857. The rear stair tower at No 10 first appears on the 2nd Edition OS map (1899).

It is possible that the windows at No 10 originally had a 12-pane glazing pattern, as is suggested by evidence in the sashes at No 14. None of the original windows remain at No 12, and the doors to both properties are late 20th century.

These buildings were previously listed jointly with No 8, which is no longer listed. List description revised as part of the Hawick Burgh Resurvey (2008).

About Listed Buildings

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
