7 Claremont Park, Edinburgh

7 Claremont Park is a classical house built around 1830 by Thomas Hamilton, with later alterations made by James Simpson in 1891. The building is two stories high and features three bays, a basement, and a single-storey, two-bay pavilion to the left of the main block. The front is constructed of droved ashlar sandstone with polished ashlar dressings, while the sides and rear are made of coursed rubble. It has rusticated quoins, a base course, a band course, a cill course for the first-floor windows, an eaves cornice, and a blocking course. The front has architraved openings, with corniced panelled aprons at the ground floor.

On the principal (north) elevation, the main block is symmetrical with regular fenestration. The central bay features a panelled entrance door with a plate glass rectangular fanlight above it. There is a Tuscan columned porch with an entablature and basement windows. The outer bay of the pavilion has a window from 1891, while the inner bay has an architraved panelled door with a plate glass rectangular fanlight, which was originally a window with a panelled apron.

The west elevation has a window in the ground floor of the outer left bay and a door to the right. The south and east elevations were not seen in 1995.

The building has plate glass timber sash and case windows throughout and a grey slate piended roof. There are wallhead stacks on both the main block and the pavilion, with the former being corniced ashlar featuring a central shaft with three flues linked together, flanked by two octagonal shafts.

The interior was not seen in 1995. The boundary wall consists of an ashlar dwarf wall with coping along the street, accompanied by modern railings. The gatepiers are square-section ashlar with shallow pyramidal caps.
