20 Cammo Crescent, Queensferry Road, Edinburgh

20 Cammo Crescent is a two-storey, four-bay asymmetrical Free Style house designed by P R McLaren in 1904. It features a full-height engaged tower on the outer right and has later two-storey additions at the side and rear. The exterior is finished in whitewashed harl with polished red sandstone dressings, including a painted base course, an architraved cill course, and a moulded eaves course on the tower. The house has timber bargeboards and overhanging eaves, with chamfered surrounds on the openings, painted first-floor cills, and corbelled first-floor windows set in the tower. A later single garage is recessed to the outer left, and there is half-timbering at the first floor. A two-storey, single bay addition is recessed to the right and features a bell-cast roof.

On the north elevation, the entrance has an original two-leaf timber panelled door offset to the right of centre, with a plate glass fanlight above and a replacement glazed and timber vestibule door. To the left of the entry, there is a single keystoned oculus window at ground level, supported by flanking timber brackets that hold an overhanging porch. Above the entry, a bipartite window at the first floor is centred in the gablehead. The engaged tower on the outer right has a three-light canted window at ground level, which is corbelled to a three-light bowed window at the first floor, topped with a conical roof and a tapering finial. The penultimate bay to the outer left features four-light bowed windows at both floors, while the outer left bay has a single window at ground level and a bipartite window at the first floor.

The house has small-pane leaded casement windows and a piended red clay-tile roof, with original decorative cast-iron rainwater goods. The wallhead stacks to the east and west are harled and feature sandstone coping, with circular clay cans.

Inside, the property boasts extensive timber panelling. The boundary wall along Queensferry Road is made of round-arched rubble coped sandstone, with square-cut polished and coursed sandstone gatepiers flanking the entry, topped with pyramidal sandstone caps.
