Description
69-74 Bruntsfield Place in Edinburgh is a group of three tall, narrow, three-storey and basement Baronial double villas, designed by David MacGibbon between 1861 and 1863. The two villas on the left each have two bowed advanced bays with corbelled out crow-stepped gables, and smaller pedimented dormers in the intervening bays. There is a modern two-bay canopy at the entrance. The villa on the right has a four-bay design, featuring kneelered, finialled dormer heads that break the eaves. It also has two slightly advanced bays flanking the entrance, which includes mullioned windows. The ground floor windows are adorned with carved thistles in segmental-arched, roll-moulded surrounds. Stone steps lead over the basement area to the entrance, which has a later glazed door set within a corniced doorpiece topped with a crenellated parapet. The building is constructed from cream sandstone ashlar and predominantly features replacement glazing, with grey slate roofing.
The boundary wall is made of a coped ashlar with modern metal railings.
