Description
This building is a single-storey, three-bay cottage located at 42 Bridge Road in Edinburgh, dating from around 1810. It features a piend roof and is situated on a sloping site with a basement at the rear. The central bay is slightly advanced and includes a blocked open pediment with a quatrefoil in a diamond panel in the tympanum. There is a recessed non-traditional door accessed by steps, which is set in a hoodmoulded doorpiece. The outer bays have windows with painted margins and similar hoodmoulds.
The main elevation is constructed of coursed rubble, while the sides are made of random rubble, with ashlar dressings and long and short quoins. The windows have 12-pane glazing in non-traditional timber frames. The cottage has corniced wall-head stacks with red clay cans, deep blocked eaves, and is roofed with graded grey slates and grey ridge-tiles.
