34, 36 Spylaw Road, Edinburgh

34 and 36 Spylaw Road is a villa built in 1872, featuring two storeys and an attic, with a three-bay design. It is constructed from greyish sandstone, using squared and snecked stugged rubble with stugged ashlar dressings. The building has chamfered reveals, ashlar mullions, plain bargeboarded gables, and a dormer with king-posts. The eaves overhang, exposing the rafters, and the front displays cusped bargeboards.

On the front elevation, the left side has an advanced gabled bay with a two-storey canted window topped by a half-pitched fishscale roof and an elaborate cast-iron balcony guard on the first floor. The central bay features an enclosed gabled ashlar porch with a shouldered arch, a two-leaf panelled door, a rectangular plate glass fanlight, and a single window above on the first floor. The right bay has a bipartite window at both the ground and first floors, with the first-floor window breaking the eaves in a gabled dormer head that includes a carved datestone.

The rear elevation has a gabled single storey and attic, along with single-storey rear wings. There is a shouldered wallhead stack on both the former and the main block. The southwest elevation features a gabled bay with a wallhead stack and a secondary entrance door at the ground floor, with a single window above. To the right, there is a conservatory, while the left side has single windows at the ground floor of the rear wing and a first-floor window breaking the eaves in a gabled dormer head.

The northeast elevation is gabled with a wallhead stack and includes a large two-storey modern extension that is comparatively sympathetic in stone. The villa has timber sash and case windows with plate glass glazing, a slate roof with lead flashings, and four wallhead stacks topped with octagonal cans.

The property is enclosed by a tall rubble wall on the sides with semi-circular coping, a low rubble wall at the front with saddleback coping, and features cast-iron gatepiers and a gate. The interior details were not seen in 1992.
