10, 10A York Place, Edinburgh

10 and 10A York Place is a late 18th century, three-storey terraced classical house with an attic and basement. It is constructed from broached ashlar sandstone and features V-jointed rustication at the principal floor. The building has a base course, a band course between the basement and principal floor, a corniced frieze between the principal and first floors, a cill course at the second floor, and a mutuled cornice with a blocking course at the second floor. Ashlar steps and an entrance platform extend over the basement.

On the south elevation, there is a round-arched doorway in the left bay at the principal floor, which consists of a two-leaf, four-panel timber door topped by a radial semicircular fanlight. The remaining bays at the principal floor have windows, and there is regular fenestration on the floors above and in the basement, with architraved windows and cornices at the first floor. The basement area is flagged.

The west elevation adjoins another terrace, which is listed separately (8 and 8A York Place), as does the east elevation (12 and 12A York Place). The building features 12-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate M-roof, and a piended dormer to the right. It also has cast-iron rainwater goods, a broached ashlar ridge stack with coped circular cans, and coped skews.

The interiors were not seen in 1998 but are noted to have shallow ribbed vaults in the front rooms and gothic details in the rear rooms. The property is enclosed by ashlar copes topped with cast-iron railings featuring spear-headed finials.
