24 Blacket Place, Edinburgh

24 Blacket Place is a pair of classical houses built in the earlier 19th century, before 1833. The buildings are two stories high and have a symmetrical six-bay rectangular plan. They are constructed from polished sandstone ashlar, with rubble on the sides and rear. Architectural features include a base course, a dividing band course, a cornice, and a blocking course. The windows are architraved, with the first-floor windows also corniced.

On the south elevation, the two central bays are slightly advanced. The entrance features a double doorcase supported by fluted Greek Doric columns, with four-panelled timber doors that include two glass panels. Above each door, there are fanlights with a rectilinear glazing pattern. Single windows are located on the first floor above the entrance and on both floors of the other bays. To the east, there is an adjoining single-storey wall that contains a pedestrian doorway, while to the west, a single-storey wing connects with No 26 and includes a pair of garage doors.

The windows are 12-paned timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a piended design, featuring corniced mutual and wallhead stacks.

The interior was not seen in 1996. Portions of the original low coped boundary wall to the street still survive, along with a bootscraper and a coped mutual boundary wall with No 26.
