Coach House, Innerwick, 2 Ellersley Road, Edinburgh

Innerwick House, located at 2 Ellersly Road in Edinburgh, is a classical villa built in 1826 by R and R Dickson, with additions by W and N in 1880 and another addition in 1906. The building was remodelled in 1996. It is a two-storey structure with a T-plan layout, originally designed as a Z-plan. The main facade features coursed, polished sandstone ashlar with polished dressings and quoin returns, while the sides of the main block are constructed of rubble. The polished sandstone wings on the west side add to its architectural appeal. The villa has a base course, a banded cill course at the first floor, and a cornice with a blocking course that is advanced and raised at the center. The windows have margins.

The principal elevation on the south side presents a three-bay symmetrical main block. The central bay at ground level features a doorpiece with a pair of pilasters supporting a corniced frieze, framing an astragal-glazed semicircular fanlight above a deep-set panelled timber door. There are large windows in each flanking bay at ground level, and a window in each bay at the first floor, along with a window in each floor of the west return bay. The two-bay wing has a pair of widely spaced windows, with a large window at ground level in each bay.

On the west elevation, the three-bay north range includes a central door with a geometric fanlight, a bipartite window to the right, and two small windows to the left, with three larger single windows above. The single bay south range features a two-storey bow with tripartite windows at both the ground and first floors, and a glazed French door with a geometric fanlight on the north return.

The north elevation has a central glazed door and irregular fenestration. The east elevation shows regular fenestration in the three-bay north range at both the ground and first floors, while the two-bay south range also has regular fenestration, including two windows at the first floor on the north return.

The villa features 12-pane timber-framed sash and case glazing, a grey slate piended roof, and a coped, rendered mutual stack where the main block and wing join. There are coped ashlar stacks on the east side and at the rear, along with cylindrical and some original moulded octagonal cans, and cast-iron rainwater goods.

Additionally, there is a coach house that has been converted into a dwelling house. This two-storey, three-bay structure has a central door and a four-light window to the right beneath a band course, a four-light window to the left framed by a three-pointed arch, and single windows in the outer and central bays at the first floor, along with a single-storey extension to the right.
