Kirtle Lodge, 102 Trinity Road, Edinburgh

Kirtle Lodge is a cottage-style villa located at 102 Trinity Road in Edinburgh, designed by James Campbell Walker in 1863. This single-storey and attic building features an asymmetrical two-bay layout with gabled windows that break the eaves. It is constructed from stugged, squared, and snecked Craigleith sandstone rubble, accented with bull-faced Hailes sandstone dressings and long and short quoins. The upper floor windows are shoulder-arched and have prominent keystones. The gables are adorned with bargeboards and wooden finials, and the eaves are bracketed. A single-storey service wing was added later to the east.

On the north elevation facing Lennox Row, the entrance is located in a central two-storey canted bay that is corbelled to a square at the attic level. It features a timber panelled door with a rectangular fanlight, flanked by two narrow windows, and a window in the gable above. The left bay includes a window at ground level and another in a gabled dormer head that breaks the eaves above.

The northwest and southwest corners have diagonal pentagonal canted bays, which are slightly corbelled out at the attic level. Each corner bay has three windows at ground level and one in a gabled dormer head above. The west elevation has two windows at ground level between the canted corner bays, with a central window in a gabled dormer head above.

On the south elevation, there is a slightly advanced gabled bay to the right, featuring a window at attic level. A modern lean-to conservatory extends along the entire ground floor. The east elevation includes a single-storey pitched-roofed service wing to the left, with later extensions adjoining the gable end to the right.

The villa features a four-pane glazing pattern in timber sash and case windows, with graded grey slates on the roof. The chimney stacks are made of coped stugged sandstone with bull-faced quoins and decorative octagonal cans.

Additionally, there is a garden house to the southeast, which has a slated stone structure with a door in an angled, bargeboarded gable that matches the corner gable feature of the main house. The boundary walls are made of stone-coped sandstone rubble, and the bull-faced sandstone gatepiers include ashlar panels and corniced caps, with a footgate at the corner of Trinity Road and Lennox Row and a carriage gate on Lennox Row.
