4 Woodhall Road, Edinburgh

4 Woodhall Road is a house built around 1840, with an east wing added in 1910 by builder Thomas Hardie. The building is single storey to the south and two storeys to the north, featuring a roughly symmetrical design with a three-bay main block set back on a sloping site between advanced wings. The south elevation of the main block is constructed of coursed ashlar, while the other elevations are made of snecked sandstone. The south elevation also has an eaves course and ashlar window surrounds.

On the south (principal) elevation, there is a later flat-roofed timber porch or conservatory at the center, which is glazed from the dado level and has two-leaf glazed doors. The main entrance to the house features a timber panelled door with a two-pane fanlight and architrave moulding above the porch roof, flanked by windows. The return of the west wing has a two-leaf timber panelled door with a two-pane fanlight to the right and a window in the center. There is a central window on the return of the east wing.

The west elevation has an advanced gabled porch at the center with a timber panelled door and a window to the right. There is also a flat-roofed box bay to the outer left with bipartite windows.

The north (rear) elevation has an irregular stepped composition with uneven fenestration. It features a three-bay block at the center with a central two-leaf glazed timber panelled door and two slate-hung dormers in the attic. To the right, there is a later one-bay brick extension, and a recessed one-bay section to the outer right has a timber boarded door behind the brick extension, accessed by an arch to the right return of the extension. The later single bay to the outer left is open at ground level and has a canted window on the first floor.

The east elevation is irregularly fenestrated. The windows throughout the building are timber sash and case, with lying-pane and border glazed windows on the south side, and predominantly 12-pane windows on the rear and sides. The building has corniced stacks with decorative clay cans and piended roofs covered with graded grey slate.

The property features a low coped boundary wall to the south, topped with decorative modern cast-iron railings, and a decorative wrought-iron gate with holly-leaf ornamentation, along with a secondary gate to the right.
