Description
30C Raeburn Place in Edinburgh is a double villa likely designed by James Milne in 1814, with an early 20th century single-storey block added to the south. The building features two storeys, a basement, and an attic, structured as two mirrored houses with six bays. The principal elevation is made of tooled coursed sandstone ashlar with polished dressings, while the rear is constructed from tooled squared and snecked sandstone. Notable architectural details include long and short quoins, a first-floor cill course, an eaves cornice, and an eaves blocking course.
The south elevation is near-symmetrical, but the ground floor is obscured by single-storey retail units. The first floor has regular fenestration, with a rectangular dormer on the right side of the attic floor and modern skylights in the center and left. The retail units at Nos 28, 28A, and 30A-D feature a variety of pilastered, flat-roofed, timber-faced designs, a decorative cornice, and slender canted windows. The hairdressers at No 28 has a glazed panelled timber door with etched glass, while No 30 has a decoratively pilastered gabled doorway with a panelled timber door and semi-circular fanlight.
The east and west elevations are gabled, and the north elevation has regular fenestration on the ground and first floors, with two rectangular dormers in the attic. The building predominantly features 12-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with a lead ridge, stone skews, and coped gablehead and wallhead stacks with circular cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods are also present.
Inside, No 28, which houses the hairdressers, retains many original fittings, while the remainder of the interior was not seen in 1999. The boundary walls at the rear are made of coped sandstone rubble.
