8-10 Grove Street, Edinburgh

8-10 Grove Street in Edinburgh is a pair of terraced townhouses built in 1822, with later alterations. The buildings are two stories high and feature six bays that are mirrored in design. The ground floor has V-jointed polished sandstone ashlar rustication, while there is a polished sandstone ashlar band between the ground and first floors, and droved sandstone ashlar at the first floor. Additional architectural details include a base course, a band course between the ground and first floors, a cill course at the first floor, and a cornice with a blocking course at the eaves.

On the principal elevation, No 10 (to the left) has a deep-set timber panelled door with a rectangular fanlight in the ground floor bay to the right, along with a window above on the first floor and in each bay on all floors to the left. No 8 (to the right) has an identical mirrored arrangement.

The north and south elevations are obscured by adjoining buildings, and the west elevation was not visible in 2000. The houses feature 12-pane timber sash and case windows, although No 8 has modern tilt and turn glazing at the first floor. The roof is covered with grey slate and has irregularly placed rooflights on the east pitch, along with coped skews and a coped ashlar multi-flue ridge stack to the right (north). The buildings also have cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interiors were not seen in 2000. The street-facing area includes a dwarf wall with an ashlar cope, topped with replacement railings.
