Description

York Lodge, located at 14 York Road in Edinburgh, is a two-storey house built around 1850, featuring asymmetrical gables and Tudor gothic detailing. The exterior is made of pink stugged sandstone ashlar with lighter ashlar dressings, and it includes a base course. The gables are topped with stone finials and have kneelered skewputts, while the window surrounds are tabbed and chamfered. The building also has long and short quoins.

On the west elevation facing York Road, the entrance is in a slightly advanced narrow gabled bay to the right, which has stop-chamfered corners at the ground floor. The entrance features a timber door with a three-light fanlight above, showcasing small-pane leaded glass set in a cusped timber frame, all within a chamfered Tudor-arched surround. A roll-moulded band separates the ground and first floors, with a blank rectangular panel in a roll-moulded surround above the door. There is a narrow window with a chamfered shouldered surround on the first floor. A projecting two-light window with a stone mullion, a carved heraldic device, a castellated parapet, and a dividing band is located on the ground floor, accompanied by a single window on the first floor and a quatrefoil device in the gable. To the left, there is a single-storey bay with a lean-to roof.

The south elevation features a single-storey castellated bay to the left with a curved-roofed glazed conservatory on the first floor. An advanced gabled bay to the right includes an arrow-slit window in the gable.

The windows are predominantly small-pane above and plate glass below, all set in timber sash and case frames. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and the stacks have been rebuilt with concrete facing and decorative octagonal cans.

The boundary wall consists of a low, coped, squared, and snecked stugged ashlar wall, complemented by tall ashlar gatepiers with chamfered corners and pyramidal caps.
