Cameron Bank, 4 Peffermill Road, Edinburgh

Late 18th century. 2-storey and attic, 3-bay, symmetrical, classical villa with L-plan, single storey extension adjoining the house to the rear. Outbuilding is of similar date. Coursed cream sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings to house; rubble to outbuildings. Entrance elevation (to the south) has a central, corniced doorway and a panelled timber door with a plate glass fanlight. There is a single window at the 1st floor above and at both floors in bays to the outer left and right.

Predominantly 12-pane, timber, sash and case windows throughout, some blind windows to east and west gables. A pair of piended box dormers with 4-pane windows located to the attic floor and facing north. Grey slate pitched roof throughout, with corniced wallhead stacks and straight skews and skewputts.

The interior was seen in 2015. The late 18th century internal plan form has been little altered. The building has simple cornicing to the principal rooms and some fireplaces remain. A number of panelled doors and window shutters survive. Timber dog leg staircases provide access to the first and attic floors. The stair has a simple timber banister with decorative cast iron railings.

The outbuilding is of similar date to the house, and comprises the former stables and tack room, with a later stone and timber extension to the east, and forms a courtyard to the west facing the house. It is single storey with 2 boarded timber doors and an early 19th century water pump to the west elevation, and with a small pigeon loft to the south elevation. The interior is cobbled, and there remains evidence of its former use as a stable, such as the timber fixtures for the tackle.

The boundary wall consists of a high rubble wall to Peffermill Road with a pedestrian gate to the east of the house
