17 and 19 St Thomas Road, including boundary wall, Edinburgh

17 and 19 St Thomas Road is a villa built in 1878, featuring a two-storey, three-bay rectangular plan with an attached service wing. The structure is constructed from squared and snecked sandstone with polished dressings, and includes a base, two dividing band courses, bracketed eaves, a corbelled stack, and painted timber-faced gables.

The west elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a central gabled timber porch set on an ashlar base. This porch features a glazed tripartite two-leaf door, with glazed panels on either side and on the returns, topped by a round-arched plate glass fanlight. Above the porch is a corbelled advanced panel with a single window and a small decorative timber gable. The outer left bay has tripartite windows at both the ground and first floors, along with a large gabled dormer. To the outer right, there are two single windows at the ground floor and a corbelled chimney breast with an initialled and dated tablet above.

On the south elevation, there is a full-height five-light canted window to the outer left, with timber at the first floor, which is bracketed to a square gabled jettied dormer that has a tripartite window. This elevation also features tripartite windows at both the ground and first floors, along with a tripartite gabled dormer.

The north elevation includes a single-pitched roof timber extension to the outer right and a service wing to the outer left, with a central tripartite window that breaks the eaves in the gablehead.

The east elevation has a blank gable wall to the outer left, with a secondary entrance at the center of the remaining block. There is a bipartite window at the first floor to the left and single windows in the remaining bays.

The villa has plate glass sash and case windows with fixed upper panes, a grey slate piended roof, a box dormer to the east, and four corniced stacks (three wallhead and one gablehead) with moulded octagonal cans and moulded eaves guttering.

The interiors were not seen in 1990. The property is enclosed by a low saddleback wall to the street, which rises to a coped rubble wall along St Thomas Road, with garages located to the east and north.
