12 Priestfield Road, Edinburgh

10 Priestfield Road in Edinburgh is a pair of symmetrical houses built in 1882, with later additions. The buildings are two stories tall and consist of four bays. They are constructed from coursed cream sandstone rubble, featuring ashlar dressings on the main elevation and sides, while the rear is made of squared and snecked rubble. Notable architectural details include a base course, long and short ashlar quoins, shouldered architraves on the first-floor single windows, a cill course between the canted windows on the first floor, a deep cornice, and a mutual skewputt. A modern garage detached from No 12 is not included in the listing.

On the north (entrance) elevation, there are doorways in the two central bays with two-leaf panelled doors and plate glass fanlights. The doorpieces are stylised and pilastered, featuring intricately carved pediments that depict figures, animals, and flowers. Above these are segmental-arched single windows with scroll motifs on the bracketed cills. The outer bays have full-height, three-light canted windows that break the eaves, with carved chevrons above the first floor and cast-iron finials on the roofs.

The east elevation (No 12) has a single central window on the ground floor and a round-arched stair window above on the first floor, along with single windows on the outer right and a bipartite window on the ground floor outer left. There is a canted dormer on the right.

On the west elevation (Kilmaurs Road), there is a single central window on the ground floor and a round-arched stair window above, with single windows on the outer left and an advanced tripartite window on the ground floor outer right. A carved panel bearing the date is located above on the first floor, and there is a canted dormer on the left.

The south elevation features various later additions, including single-storey extensions on the outer right and left. No 12 has a full-height, three-light canted window that includes the attic, while No 10 has a box dormer.

The windows are predominantly plate glass, timber, and sash and case, with some four-pane windows at the rear. The roofs are covered with grey slate, featuring a platform roof and piended roofs on the single-storey extensions. The buildings have shouldered, coped wallhead stacks, a coped ridge stack, and moulded cans, along with original rainwater goods.
