Description
33 Raeburn Place in Edinburgh is a double villa built around 1814, likely by James Milne, with an early 20th century single-storey block added to the north. The building features two mirrored houses, each with three bays, and is constructed from tooled coursed sandstone ashlar with polished dressings on the main elevation, while the rest is made of sandstone rubble. It has long and short quoins, an eaves cornice, and an eaves blocking course.
The north (principal) elevation is nearly symmetrical, featuring an architraved doorway in the third bay from the left at ground level, which has a panelled timber door and a letterbox fanlight. This entrance is accessed through a decorative cast-iron gate. The ground floor is mostly obscured by modern shopfronts and single-storey retail units, while the first floor has regular fenestration. There is a 2-light rectangular dormer on the left side of the attic floor, flanked by skylights, and a gate is located to the outer right.
The east and west elevations are gabled. The north elevation was not visible in 1999. The building predominantly features 2-pane and 12-pane timber sash and case windows. It has a grey slate roof with a lead ridge, stone skews, and coped gablehead stacks with circular cans, along with cast-iron rainwater goods. The interior was not seen in 1999.
