9 Blacket Place, Edinburgh

9 Blacket Place is a classical villa built in the earlier to mid-19th century. It is a two-storey, symmetrical, four-bay structure arranged in a U-shape, constructed from polished sandstone ashlar with rusticated quoins on the outer bays. The building features a base course, a dividing band course, an eaves course, a cornice, and architraved windows.

The west elevation, which serves as the entrance, has advanced outer bays. Each outer bay contains a doorcase with pairs of square columns in front of pairs of pilasters, flanking a two-leaf door with three panels on each side. Above the door is an entablature topped with a stone balustrade that forms a balcony. There is a single window on the first floor above the entrance, and bipartite windows on both floors of the flanking bays. To the left of the main block, a recessed wing contains a single window.

The villa has two-pane timber sash and case windows and a grey slate piended roof with coped mutual and wallhead stacks, the former featuring three arrow slits.

The boundary walls consist of a low coped wall along the street with single gate piers at the north and south ends, and high coped rubble walls to the north and south.
