Description
44 and 46 Frederick Street in Edinburgh is a classical former house built between 1786 and 1792, with later alterations including a new shopfront added in 1996. The building is three stories high with an attic and features three bays, constructed from droved cream ashlar sandstone. The ground floor has a modern timber shopfront with arched windows and a cornice, while there is an arched doorway to the upper floors on the left side, dating from around 1815. The building has an eaves cornice and a piend-roofed canted dormer on the right, complete with a cornice and blocking course.
The rear elevation is four stories high and has two bays, made of rubble, with a single-storey gabled range attached at the back of the shop. The windows are timber sash and case with plate glass, and the building features ashlar coped mutual skews and stone stacks, including a rendered extension to the south, all covered with grey slates.
Inside, there is a central stair that runs perpendicular to the hallway, with access created to No 48 from the first landing. The former drawing room has been subdivided and features a finely carved and painted chimneypiece with fluted pilasters and urns. An attic flat has been created by boxing in the landing.
