Hermitage House, Selkirk - a photo on Flickriver

            Circa 1810 with later alterations and additions. 2-storey, 3-bay symmetrical, classical house, set back from road. Whinstone rubble with painted stugged ashlar dressings, raised polished ashlar margins; harled single storey wing to SW. Eaves course; long and short quoins; blocking course and raised red sandstone ashlar tablet to centre. Bay to centre advanced slightly; deep-set panelled door to centre with rectangular radial fanlight above; corniced doorpiece with decorative carved (or possibly stucco) panel to frieze with palm motif; window at 1st floor. Window to each storey of flanking bays.

The plan of the building in 1823 and on later maps is the same as it is now.  Once the house of the local priest it then became offices of the Southern Reporter local newspaper.  It has been home to surveyors since 1972.
