60 Fountainhall Road, Edinburgh

60 Fountainhall Road is a villa built around 1878, featuring two stories and a three-bay rectangular plan, with a service wing attached to the east. The exterior is made of squared and snecked sandstone, with coursed stugged ashlar and polished dressings on the south (entrance) elevation. Notable architectural details include base and eaves courses, a bracketed cornice, quoin strips, and basket-arched windows on the first floor. The ground floor windows are architraved, while those on the first floor are chamfered.

On the south elevation, there is a central pilastered porch adorned with paterae, a consoled cornice, and an arcaded balustrade above. The entrance features a segmental-arched doorway with a panelled door and a plate glass fanlight. To the right, there is a corniced advanced bipartite window at ground level, with an arcaded balustrade above, and a single window with long and short blocks surrounding it on the first floor. To the left, a full-height canted window has a dividing cornice.

The east elevation includes a single-storey flat-roofed service wing that has been made into a two-storey structure, with a single window on the ground floor and a round-arched window on the first floor. The west elevation features a replacement timber-framed conservatory with a canted end attached to the outer right and a single window on the first floor.

The villa has plate glass sash and case windows, a grey slate piended roof with three shouldered and corniced wallhead stacks (one of which is rendered), lead flashing, some original rainwater goods, and moulded eaves guttering.

The interior details were not seen in 1990. The property is enclosed by a low boundary wall along the street, with corniced and coped ashlar gatepiers that have chamfered angles to the east. There is also a high coped rubble boundary wall to the west and mutual walls.
