Description

The Coach House at 204 Newhaven Road in Newhaven, Edinburgh, is an early 19th-century building that consists of a pair of symmetrical classical houses arranged in a terrace. The principal elevation features lightly stugged coursed cream sandstone, while the side and rear elevations are made of rubble. Notable architectural details include raised and polished long and short quoins, a continuous base course, and a bracketed cornice. The first-floor windows have projecting cills, and the central entrance features columned doorpieces with flanking tripartite windows. To the right, there is a later addition constructed from squared and snecked stugged sandstone with a flat roof.

On the west elevation, the central bays have Roman Doric columned doorpieces, a plain frieze, and a projecting cornice above. The entrance doors are timber panelled, with a plate glass fanlight above the door to 204 and a geometric fanlight above the door to 202. The first floor has single windows above the doorways, with tripartite windows in the bays to the left and right of the center. A stable and hayloft converted into a garage is located adjacent to 202 on the outer right, featuring a flat roof. The windows at No 202 have been replaced, while No 204 retains 2-pane timber sash and case windows. The building has a grey slate roof with stone skews and corniced gablehead stacks, along with a mutual wallhead stack at the center that has original cans.

The interiors were not seen in 1996. The Coach House itself is a single-storey building set back from No 204, constructed from random red sandstone rubble with long and short rubble quoins. It features a single window, possibly a hayloft door, at the center, and ventilation holes, which may be doocot flight holes, set in stone above. The roof is pitched.

The boundary wall and gatepier consist of a coped squared and snecked stugged sandstone wall along the street, with an ashlar pier to the left that has a projecting base and string course, topped with a pyramidal stone cap.
