6 Dick Place, Edinburgh

6 Dick Place is a villa built around 1860, featuring a two-storey, three-bay symmetrical rectangular plan. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked rubble, with lightly stugged and coursed ashlar and polished dressings on the north elevation, which is channelled at the ground level. Notable architectural details include a base course, dividing band, cornice, and blocking course, along with quoin strips and raised, architraved window surrounds.

The north elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a central porch supported by detached fluted Greek columns, an entablature, and a blocking course. It features a panelled door with a plate glass fanlight above. On the ground floor, there are single windows on either side of the porch, while the first floor has three single windows adorned with Greek details on the cornice. There are lower two-storey mansard-roofed extensions, which are partly from the 19th century and partly from 1961, featuring stone-facing, a slit window at ground level, and a mansard window above.

The west elevation includes a mansard extension that is rendered on the left side. The east elevation has a single-storey flat-roofed garage and extension, which is stone-faced on the street side and rendered at the rear, with a single window on the first floor.

On the south elevation, there is a modern single-storey conservatory at the centre of the ground floor, with a round-arched stair window above it. To the outer left, there is an advanced bay with bipartite windows on both the ground and first floors, along with a dividing band. To the outer right, a full-height canted window with a dividing band is present. The villa features 4-pane sash and case windows on the north side, while a mixture of 4-pane and plate glass sash and case windows can be found elsewhere. The roof is a grey slate piended style, with two 19th-century canted dormers on the south side, flashing, and four shouldered and corniced wallhead stacks, some with moulded octagonal cans.

Inside, the villa boasts a glazed tripartite vestibule door, an ornate plaster rose and cornice, and a coloured border glazing pattern in the stair window. The property is enclosed by a low coped boundary wall to the street, which ends in two pyramidal-capped piers, and a higher boundary wall with a pedestrian gateway to the street on the west side, along with high mutual boundary walls.
