A good example of a modestly sized but well-detailed house, which is the only one within the Wellogate (or 'Terraces') area of Hawick to retain its original (unextended) footprint and glazing. Wellogate, the area to the east of the High Street, was comprehensively developed from 1888 onwards by the Hawick Working Men's Building & Investment Company, having previously consisted of farmland and allotments. It is a good example of well-planned urban expansion of this period, and consists of a mixture of 'colonies'-style housing, terraced houses and detached houses. Newbiggin is unusual both in being essentially unaltered externally, and for its fine detailing, which is of a notably higher quality than others in the vicinity.
