Fairhaven, 3 Woodhall Road, Edinburgh

Fairhaven, located at 3 Woodhall Road in Edinburgh, is an office designed by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson or a former assistant, dated 1891. This building features a symmetrical pair of semi-detached villas with a swept-roofed center and slightly advanced gabled end bays. The entrances are located on the side elevations, and there are brick scullery outshots at the rear of the center.

The ground floor of the gabled bays has large canted windows, while the front showcases pedimented dormers and flat-roofed dormers at the rear. The side elevations include shouldered wallhead stacks and tall segmental-pedimented staircase windows. The eaves are deep and bracketed, and the gables have plain bargeboards. The exterior is finished with painted harl, featuring painted sandstone ashlar window margins and quoins, along with red sandstone door architraves and a base course. The building has strip quoins and slightly raised window margins, with cornices above the first-floor windows on the gables.

Inside, there are timber panelled doors set in roll-moulded corniced architraves, with lintels inscribed with the date 1891. The lobbies are tiled and panelled, with inner doors glazed with bevelled glass. The front and rear have regular fenestration, and the back doors to the scullery outshots are timber boarded.

The windows predominantly feature 12- and 8-pane glazing in timber sash and case designs, with leaded glazing in timber casements for the canted windows. The prominent stacks are corniced and coped, with strip-quoins and tall red and yellow clay cans. The roof is covered with graded grey slate and red terracotta ridge tiles, and there are cast-iron down pipes with decorative hoppers.

The property is enclosed by a coped random rubble boundary wall, which includes ashlar gatepiers and decorative cast-iron gates.
