33 Bernard Street, Edinburgh

33 Bernard Street is an earlier 19th-century, three-storey and attic, three-bay terraced town house featuring classical details and a single-storey addition at the rear. The front elevation is constructed of grey sandstone, with polished ashlar on the ground floor and stugged ashlar with polished dressings above. The rear is made of coursed and squared rubble. Architectural features include a base course, a ground floor divided by shallow pilasters, a frieze and cornice above, a band cill course at the second floor, and an eaves cornice with a blocking course. The first-floor windows are architraved and corniced.

On the northeast (front) elevation, there is a doorway on the outer left with a border-glazed, two-pane rectangular fanlight, and three windows to the right. The fenestration is regular above this level, featuring a canted dormer with a single window and a half-piend roof to the right.

The southwest (rear) elevation has two bays with single windows and a single-storey addition that forms a terrace with a parapet wall to the southwest. This terrace is adorned with ornate iron railings on the sides, and the ashlar side elevation to the northwest has a former opening that is now blocked and covered with a trompe l'oeil mural framed by shallow paired pilasters, a cornice, and a blocking course bearing a tablet.

The windows throughout are 12-pane timber sash and case, with lying panes at the rear. The roof is slate with metal flashings, featuring Velux windows at the rear and a dormer at the front.

Inside, there is a common stair with an enclosed stone stair and a timber handrail.
