49 Northumberland Street, Edinburgh

49 Northumberland Street in Edinburgh is an early 19th-century terraced house designed by Robert Reid and William Sibbald, with an attic added around 1900. The building is two storeys high, with an attic and basement, and features three bays. It is constructed from polished ashlar sandstone, with V-jointed rustication at the basement. There is a base course and band courses between the basement and the principal floor, as well as between the principal floor and the first floor. A cill course is present at the first floor, along with a mutuled cornice and blocking course.

On the south elevation, there is a round-arched doorpiece in the left bay at the principal floor, which includes a panelled timber door and a radial semicircular fanlight. The remaining bays have regular fenestration at the principal floor, first floor, and basement. The east and west elevations are part of adjoining terraces, which are listed separately.

The windows are predominantly 12-pane timber sash and case. The roof is a grey slate M-roof with a long 8-light box dormer. Cast-iron rainwater goods are present, along with a rendered ridge stack that is coped and features circular cans.

The interiors have not been seen since 1997. The property also includes ashlar copes topped with cast-iron railings that have spear-headed balusters and urn finials. There are cast-iron lamps mounted on the railings, featuring glass globes.
