5, 7 Oak Lane, Edinburgh

5 and 7 Oak Lane is a late 18th-century house that has undergone alterations in the early 20th century, with additional changes made in the 20th century. It is a single and two-storey, seven-bay L-plan structure, with a longer wing extending to the northeast. The exterior features whitewashed harl and a sandstone ashlar entrance porch, along with an ogee roof stair tower and gabled dormers that break the eaves.

On the north (entrance) elevation, there is a single-storey bay on the outer left that includes a single window, a timber door, and a fanlight. To the outer left in the two-storey bay, there is another single window. The next three bays to the right have single windows at both the ground and first floors that break the eaves. At the re-entrant angle, there is an architraved, corniced entrance porch with a two-leaf timber door and a lantern above. The advanced stair tower features a single window on the left at ground level and a centrally placed stair window on the first floor. There is a single window in the bay on the outer right.

The glazing includes 6-pane, 8-pane, and 12-pane sash and case windows, along with a small casement and fixed stair window, and a skylight. The roof is covered with graded grey slate and features a corniced ridge, gablehead stacks, and crowstepped skews.

The interior was not seen in 1997. There is also a low coped painted boundary wall to the east of the entrance elevation.
