Description

34A Raeburn Place in Edinburgh is a double villa built around 1814, likely by architect James Milne, with a single-storey block added to the south in the early 20th century. The building was remodeled at the back by Dick Peddie and Walker Todd in 1935. It features two storeys, a basement, and an attic, consisting of two mirrored houses with six bays in total. The principal elevation is constructed from tooled coursed sandstone ashlar with polished dressings, while the rear is made of tooled squared and snecked sandstone. Architectural details include entablatured and architraved doorways, long and short quoins, a first-floor cill course, an eaves cornice, and an eaves blocking course.

The south elevation is near-symmetrical, with doorways accessed by stone steps leading to the central bays of the ground floor, which have panelled timber doors with letterbox fanlights. The flanking bays to the left and right are obscured by single-storey retail units. The first floor has regular fenestration, and there is a four-light canted dormer to the left of the attic floor, along with modern two-pane skylights in the centre and right of the attic. The single-storey bank at No 34A has a cement-faced, flat roof and an asymmetrical design with a granite-faced base course. It features an architraved doorway with carved husk decoration, a two-leaf panelled timber door, and two-light plate-glass windows with a simple geometric glazing pattern. The cornice is decorated with a Greek key motif, and the left and right returns are blank.

The east elevation is gabled, while the north elevation has irregularly placed door and window openings at the basement level, a window at the ground floor, and regularly placed windows on the first floor, along with rectangular dormers in the attic. The west elevation is also gabled, featuring two windows at the ground floor and a centrally located window on the first floor.

The building predominantly has 12-pane and 2-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with a lead ridge, stone skews, and coped gablehead and wallhead stacks with circular cans. The rainwater goods are made of cast iron.

Inside, the bank's interior has been remodeled, but some decorative cornicing remains. Other interior details were not seen during the last inspection in 1999. The property is enclosed by coped sandstone rubble boundary walls at the rear.
