65 Bruntsfield Place, Edinburgh

65 Bruntsfield Place is a plain classical villa built between 1826 and 1827. It is two stories high and has a symmetrical rectangular plan with three bays. To the left, there is a single-storey, two-bay wing, and to the right, a two-storey, single-bay wing, with a piended extension at the rear. The exterior features polished sandstone ashlar that is channelled at the ground level, while the sides are made of coursed rubble. There are decorative elements including a string course at the ground floor, a dividing band course, a cill course, a cornice, and a blocking course. The first-floor windows are architraved.

On the entrance elevation, the central bay is advanced and has a pediment. The main entrance consists of a timber door with glass panels and a plate glass fanlight above. This doorpiece is flanked by engaged Ionic columns and topped with a block pediment featuring a raised keystone. To either side, there are later three-bay canted windows at the ground floor and single windows above on the first floor. The wings at ground level have round-arched recessed panels with voussoirs. There is a timber door to the right, a square window to the left, and a shouldered opening in the recessed bay on the outer left.

The villa has two-pane timber sash and case windows, with four-pane windows in the ground floor wing to the left. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a piended design, featuring wallhead stacks that are corniced to the left and coped to the right, with moulded cans.

The boundary walls consist of low coped coursed rubble, with boarded timber doors set in pedestrian gateways on the outer left and right, along with mutual coped rubble boundary walls.
