14 Church Hill, Edinburgh

This building is an outbuilding located at 14 Church Hill in Edinburgh, designed in the style of David Cousin around 1860. It is a two-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan structure that has been subdivided into a villa, stables, and outhouses to the east, with a basement at the rear. The exterior is made of cream sandstone, featuring stugged ashlar on the front with polished dressings, and squared and snecked rubble on the rear and sides, also with stugged dressings. It has a base course, architraved windows with bracketed cills and cornices, and a banded eaves course.

On the north (front) elevation, there is an entrance door at the center, adorned with a disc motif on the pilasters and a consoled cornice, along with a panelled door and a rectangular plate glass fanlight above. A single window is located on the first floor above the entrance, while the outer bays each feature a single window on both the ground and first floors.

The south (rear) elevation is two-storey with a raised basement and consists of four bays with single windows. There is a single-storey flat-roofed extension to the right, which has single windows and a secondary door.

The west elevation includes a two-storey lean-to timber conservatory at the basement to the right, a single central window on the first floor, and two wallhead stacks. The east elevation has a modern forestair leading to a secondary door, which has been inserted in place of a former tall round-arched stair window. There are also two blocked-up windows to the right and two wallhead stacks.

The stables and outhouse form a courtyard to the east and are two-storey square-plan structures with piend roofs, constructed from squared and snecked rubble with a stugged ashlar front on the north elevation. These were converted into housing in 1926.

The windows throughout are timber sash and case, primarily featuring two-pane upper sashes and four-pane lower sashes, with some twelve-pane windows on the rear. The roof is covered with slate and has lead flashings, along with four wallhead stacks that have octagonal cans.

The interior was not seen in 1992. Surrounding the building are tall rubble walls with semi-circular coping on the rear and sides, a tall wall with flat coping at the front, and square coped gatepiers, which have mostly been shortened and moved.
