6 Whitehouse Terrace, Edinburgh

6 Whitehouse Terrace is a villa built around 1860, featuring two stories and an irregular plan, with a service wing at the rear and significant additions to the west that are designed to blend in with the original style. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked sandstone, accented with polished ashlar dressings. The building has overhanging eaves, chamfered reveals, and plain timber bargeboards with finials.

The south elevation of Whitehouse Terrace has three bays, which become five bays due to the extension to the west. It features two-storey canted windows with zinc roofs in the first and third bays, while the central light at ground level in the third bay has been modified to serve as a doorway, which consists of a two-leaf glazed door with a fanlight above. The remaining bays have single windows on both floors, and the doorway in the fourth bay has been changed into a window.

The east elevation has an M-gable and an irregular arrangement of windows. It includes 12-pane sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and has tall, shouldered, corniced gablehead stacks.

The interior was not inspected in 1991. The property also features gatepiers made of stugged ashlar with pyramidal caps, quadrant walls, and coped coursed sandstone boundary and mutual walls.
