Description
19 Meadow Place in Edinburgh is a pair of classical style houses built around 1812. These two-storey buildings, each with an attic, form a symmetrical four-bay terrace. They are constructed from coursed cream sandstone rubble, with random rubble at the rear, and feature ashlar dressings and lightly droved ashlar margins. The houses have a polished base course, polished cill course, corniced eaves, and a polished blocking course. The quoins are made of droved rubble, and the openings have droved long and short rubble surrounds.
At the rear, there are single-storey additions; No 19 has harl-pointed random rubble sandstone, while No 20 has coursed, slightly bull-faced yellow rubble sandstone with droved yellow ashlar margins.
On the north elevation, there are steps leading to timber panelled doors at the center of the ground floor, with part-glazing for No 19. No 19 features a tripartite fanlight, while No 20 has a geometric-patterned fanlight. The first floor has single windows aligned above the doors, and No 19 has a canted dormer. The outer left and right bays each contain single windows on both floors.
The south elevation at the rear includes projecting additions with timber panelled doors offset to the right of center and single garage doors on the outer right. The first floor is regularly fenestrated, and No 19 has a canted dormer to the left.
The buildings feature 12-pane timber sash and case glazing, along with various skylights. The roof is covered with graded grey slate and has pantile ridge tiling, raised skews, and replacement rainwater goods. No 19 has a cream rubble sandstone apex stack with missing cans, while No 20 has a red brick apex stack with a single circular can.
The boundary walls consist of a round-arched rubble coping on a random rubble wall that encloses the site at the front, along with a coped random rubble wall dividing the front gardens.
