Description
Lochend Annexe, located at Telford College on 57 Lochend Road in Edinburgh, is a former school building constructed in 1869 with a later addition. It is a two-storey, near-U-shaped structure featuring gabled roofs. The exterior is made of squared and snecked sandstone, with ashlar margins and bull-faced quoins. The principal elevation includes stop-chamfered lintels and a dividing band course.
The principal elevation is a 12-bay design, featuring a symmetrical 9-bay block with a 3-bay addition to the right that is sympathetic to the original structure. The central gabled section has a round-arched door flanked by sidelights, with a bipartite window on the first floor and a shield in the gablehead. This is flanked by single windows and broader gabled bays on the outer sections, each with a blank panel in the gableheads. The right side has a slightly advanced lower gable with a canted window at ground level and a bipartite window above, along with a door and window to the left and two windows on the first floor.
The rear elevation features a piend-roofed stair tower that is advanced at the centre, breaking the eaves and showcasing a round-arched, border-glazed window. There are doors and windows flanking each side at ground level, with bipartite windows on the first floor. Long, gabled wings extend to the rear, containing classrooms with irregular fenestration, where first-floor bipartite windows occasionally break the eaves in flat-roofed dormerheads.
The building has 4-pane timber sash and case windows, some with plate glass. It is topped with grey slates and features louvred triangular vents. The eaves are barge boarded and overhanging, supported by timber brackets and exposed rafters, with wallhead and gablehead stacks.
The interior was not seen in 1995. The property also includes gates, railings, gatepiers, and an overthrow. A squared rubble, ashlar-coped dwarf wall supports later iron railings along the principal elevation. There are spearhead two-leaf iron gates leading to the principal drive and a single pedestrian gate at the centre, each flanked by large ashlar gatepiers with chamfered arrises and corniced caps, although one cap is missing from the left driveway pier. A decorative scrolled iron overthrow supports a pendant, glazed lantern above the pedestrian gate.
