18 Primrose Bank Road, Edinburgh

18 Primrose Bank Road is a pair of semi-detached houses built in 1894 by Hunter Crawford, featuring later alterations and additions. The houses are two stories high with an attic and have six bays, showcasing Tudor Collegiate architectural details. They are constructed from purpose-made red Midland brick with cream sandstone dressings, and feature a stone base course and a cill band at the first floor. The roof is swept with overhanging eaves.

The principal elevation is symmetrical except for the outer right gable, which contains a tripartite stone-mullioned window with small leaded panes. The outer bays have scalloped parapets above full-height canted windows, with narrow wall sections stepped back at the quoins, each having small windows on both floors. The central bays feature decoratively boarded doors with ashlar stop-chamfered Tudor-arched surrounds, flanked by two small windows on each side. Above, there are paired quadripartite mullioned windows with leaded panes and stained glass, offset towards the centre on the first floor, and flat-roofed dormers—two on the left and one on the right.

The east elevation has two asymmetrically placed windows on each floor and includes a piend-roofed lower two-storey bay with a later garage, along with a stepped gable that has integral chimneys bridged at the centre. The west elevation has been altered with the addition of a conservatory and garage. The rear elevation has also undergone some unsympathetic alterations.

Most windows are timber sash and case with small panes (four or six) above and plate glass below, while the dormers and other small windows feature small-paned casements. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are stone coped skews and stacks with terracotta circular cans.

The boundary walls and gatepiers consist of stone coped squared and snecked low walls that curve to capped gatepiers at the central pedestrian gates.
