2-storey, originally 3-bay house with later 3-bay, classically-detailed 19th century shop front projecting at ground to left of centre; lean-to addition to outer right; single storey, lean-to projection at rear. Whinstone and sandstone rubble. Narrow quoin strips; rubble quoins; plain margins; projecting cills. Plate glass and 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows to front; 9-pane glazing at rear. Grey slate roof; stone-coped skews; scrolled skewputts. Corniced sandstone apex stack to N; replacement apex stack to S; various circular cans. One of the most prominent buildings fronting Coldingham's Bridge Street. Although altered to accommodate a Post Office (formerly a shop), the house remains essentially intact with good details - the shop front itself being a good example of its type. It is the scrolled skewputts which suggest the building may date from before 1800. (Historic Scotland)
