1 Northumberland Place, Edinburgh

1 Northumberland Place in Edinburgh is a three-storey terraced tenement building with an attic and basement, constructed in 1804 by architects Robert Reid and William Sibbald. The building features four bays and includes a public house known as The Star Tavern. It is built from rubble with tooled dressings and has raised margins around the first and second floor windows on the outer right.

The northern elevation, which is the principal façade, displays the public house across three bays on the left side at the principal floor. This includes a central two-leaf panelled timber door topped with a louvred rectangular fanlight and a bracket street lamp that was formerly gas-lit. There is a lowered panelled timber door on the outer right at the principal floor, which has a two-pane rectangular fanlight and vertically-boarded timber infill. The upper floors have a regular arrangement of windows.

The western elevation is part of an adjoining terrace, which is listed separately (2-5 Northumberland Place). The eastern elevation is made of random rubble and is obscured by a single-storey building. It has windows located on the outer right at the first and second floors, as well as to the right of centre and outer left at the attic level.

The building predominantly features twelve-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and includes rectangular piended dormers on the left and right. It has cast-iron rainwater goods and a rendered gablehead stack that is coped and has circular cans.

The interiors were not seen during the last inspection in 1997.
