7 South Gray Street, Edinburgh

7 South Gray Street in Edinburgh is a classical house dating from around 1815, with later additions. It is two stories high and has three bays, featuring a later 19th century two-story extension to the south. The building is constructed of droved cream sandstone with ashlar dressings, while the extension is made of coursed rubble, and the side and rear are also rubble. Notable architectural details include a base course, advanced quoins, a cill course for the first-floor windows, a cornice, and a blocking course that is raised at the center.

On the east elevation, the central doorway has a panelled door with an umbrella fanlight and is flanked by engaged columns supporting a corniced doorpiece. There is a single window above the door on the first floor. To the outer left, there is a single window on the ground floor and another on the first floor above it. The outer right bay features a garage insertion on the ground floor and a single window above on the first floor. The two-story wing is canted and has a single window on both the ground and first floors.

The windows are timber sash and case, with a combination of four panes and twelve panes. The roof is covered with grey slate and has piended slopes, along with corniced wallhead stacks and moulded cans.

The interior was not seen in 1996. The property is also accompanied by boundary walls, gatepiers, and a pedestrian gate. The low boundary wall to the street is coursed and coped, while a high rubble wall stands to the north. The gatepiers are plain, except for the southern one, which has a pyramidal cap. There is a pedestrian gateway next to the house on the north side.
