Kinellan House, 33 Murrayfield Road, Edinburgh

Kinellan House, located at 33 Murrayfield Road in Edinburgh, is a rectangular-plan house built in 1846 by R & R Dickson and enlarged in 1913 by Sir Robert Lorimer. This two-storey house with an attic and basement features giant pilasters and is constructed from coursed, polished sandstone ashlar with polished dressings. It has a raised base course, a cill course at the first floor, a banded eaves course, and a cornice. The windows have plain margins and panelled aprons on the ground floor, while the three central bays feature corniced bipartite dormers.

The principal elevation is symmetrical with five bays. The basement has irregularly placed windows and doors, with ashlar steps leading to a two-leaf panelled entrance door that is adorned with an elaborate rococo fanlight at the center. There are narrow flanking lights, a window in each remaining bay at the ground floor, and windows in all bays at the first floor, along with three attic dormers above.

On the south elevation, steps lead to a central door that is emphasized by a pilaster and cornice door-piece, with an arched niche above and a pediment. There are single windows flanking the door and niche, with two giant pilasters at the ends.

The west elevation features a three-bay section to the right with regular fenestration and giant pilasters at the ends. The central section has two bays with single windows at the ground floor and large arched windows above, along with a platform dormer in the attic to the right. The left section has three bays, with bipartite lights in the right bay at both the ground and first floors, and single windows in the center and left bays at both floors, with strip pilasters at the ends.

The house has multi-paned timber-framed sash and case glazing, a grey slate roof, and a corniced wallhead stack visible on the left, along with cast-iron rainwater goods. The interior was not seen in 2001.

The lodge, also designed by R & R Dickson in 1864 and altered by Robert Lorimer in 1913, is a south-facing single-storey and attic structure with five bays. It features a door in the left bay, an elliptical arched window, a bipartite light, and another door in the right bay. There are four attic dormer windows and a single window in the west gable-end. The lodge has a mansard roof that sweeps at the eaves and is covered with slate, with a stack at the gablehead and additional stacks in the center.
