27-29 Dean Path, Dean Village, Edinburgh

27-29 Dean Path is a late 18th-century, two-storey, three-bay tenement building, which has four stories at the rear and includes a single-storey block to the right. It is situated on sloping ground that falls to the south. The building features a prominent rubble-built nepus gable at the north elevation facing Dean Path, along with a semi-circular stone stair tower at the rear. The walls are constructed of coursed random rubble, with some droved ashlar quoins.

The north elevation has a central doorway with a plain surround and a three-light rectangular fanlight above it. The fenestration is regular, with two small closely set windows in the attic gable. The single-storey flat-roofed rubble block to the right has a large window in the centre.

On the west side elevation, there is a large gable end with irregular fenestration, including a single off-centre window at the ground floor and two small windows in the attic.

The south elevation, facing the damside, has four storeys and three bays, featuring a prominent bowed stair tower in the centre topped with a conical roof. The entrance is located in the re-entrant angle to the west. The fenestration is regular, with smaller windows in the stair tower. There is an irregular two-storey block adjoining to the left, which has a chamfered end and irregular fenestration.

The building predominantly features 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is pitched and covered with grey slates, adorned with a decorative clay ridge, while the single-storey block has a flat roof. The building also has cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior has a later interior scheme.
