Statement of 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).
