Description

39-43 Dean Path is a late 18th-century tenement building located in Dean Village, Edinburgh, with later additions made around 1970. The structure is three stories high and has three bays, with five bays at the ground level, set on a steep slope to the south. It features coursed random rubble construction, with some droved quoins, cills, and rybats. The central doorway is flanked by two windows that have large droved lintels, which likely indicate former doorways. The first and second floors each have three evenly spaced windows, with those on the second floor positioned close to the eaves. A prominent off-centre wallhead stack is also a notable feature.

On the rear (south) elevation, there are approximately three bays, highlighted by a full-height bowed stair tower in the center topped with a conical roof. An entrance is located in the re-entrant angle to the left (west), and the fenestration is regular, featuring some large droved lintels. A later single-storey block is attached to the far left (west).

The west elevation presents a large gable end with irregular fenestration and a significant gable end stack. The building predominantly has eight-pane timber sash and case windows. The pitched roof is covered with grey slates and features a coped gable end stack with a thackstane, as well as a wallhead stack fitted with modern clay cans. The property also includes cast-iron rainwater goods.

The boundary wall consists of coursed random rubble with rubble copes and is adjacent to another building on the right (west).
