17 Bath Street, Edinburgh

17 Bath Street is an early 19th-century classical house that has undergone later additions and alterations. It is a two-storey, three-bay building with a rectangular plan, now featuring extensions at the rear. The front is made of finely droved ashlar with polished later canted windows and dressings, while the side elevations are harled and the rear elevation is harled and painted. The structure includes a base course, a string course between the floors, a mutuled and blocking course, a slightly advanced central bay, and broad raised corner pilasters. The canted window has chamfered arrises and a dividing cornice.

On the northwest (principal) elevation, there is a panelled door at the center with a plate glass rectangular fanlight above it, along with a window on the first floor. To the right, there is a window on each floor of the bay, and to the left, a full-height later canted window is located in the bay.

The southeast (rear) elevation features a two-storey extension in the center and a single-storey extension on the extreme left that links to the boundary with No. 15. The windows are narrow four-pane timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a piended design, including the canted window and the two-storey extension at the rear. Rendered and coped wallhead stacks are present on the side elevations.

The interior was not seen in 1994. The boundary walls are made of squared and snecked rubble with coping, accompanied by cast-iron railings.
