Description

14 Belford Mews is a late 19th century mews house that is single storey with an attic, featuring roughly five bays and tall gabled dormers on its mansard roof. It is part of a short row of similar mews buildings and is situated on ground that slopes steeply down to the Water of Leith at the rear (northeast). The exterior is constructed from squared snecked red sandstone bull-faced rubble with red sandstone ashlar dressings. The ground floor has an asymmetrical arrangement of openings, including off-centre doorways with small glazed fanlights, a large boarded and glazed coach-house door, and some glazed openings with long and short rybats. There is a part glazed and boarded former hayloft door to the left (north) at the first floor. The interior retains some original stabling features.

The north (rear) elevation has roughly five bays and is made of coursed random rubble with some ashlar dressings, featuring some later enlarged openings and irregular fenestration. The windows are predominantly plate glass in timber sash and case style, with some 8-pane and 4-pane variations. The mansard roof is finished with deep ashlar skews and a decorative clay ridge, covered in grey slates. It has a corniced gable and ridge stacks with modern clay cans, and cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior was converted to a residential dwelling in 2008, retaining some original stall partitions and troughs in the later interior scheme, along with some cast iron fireplaces featuring decorative mantels and an original oat chute.
