4 Blacket Place, Edinburgh

4 Blacket Place is a classical house built around 1835. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure with a rectangular plan and single-storey recessed wings. The ground floor features channelled polished sandstone ashlar, while the first floor is stugged, and the sides and rear are built of rubble. The building has a base course, a dividing band course, a cill course, and a cornice with modillions. The blocking course is advanced at the center, and the first-floor windows have architraves.

On the south elevation, there is a doorcase with fluted Greek Doric columns, paired pilasters behind, and an entablature with a modillioned cornice. The entrance features a timber four-panelled door with a geometric glazing pattern in the fanlight, along with a single window above and in both floors of the flanking bays. The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case. The roof is covered in grey slate and has a piended design with corniced wallhead stacks.

The interior was not seen in 1996. The property is enclosed by a low coped boundary wall with some iron railings at the front and mutual coped rubble boundary walls shared with No 2 and No 6.
