5 Pittville Street, Joppa, Edinburgh

5 Pittville Street in Joppa, Edinburgh, is an early 19th-century house that has undergone later additions and alterations. It is a two-storey, three-bay symmetrical structure featuring stugged painted ashlar with droved and polished ashlar dressings, as well as a rubble extension at the rear that is harled. The building includes a base course, a cill course at the first floor, a cornice, and a blocking course.

On the southeast (principal) elevation, there is a Roman Doric pilastered and corniced doorpiece with a panelled door in the center, flanked by a plate glass rectangular fanlight and a window above on the first floor. Each floor has windows in the flanking bays, with a possibly later tripartite window at the ground level on the right.

The northwest (rear) elevation features a two-storey harled extension to the left and center, which is shown on both the 1856 and 1988 maps. The house has plate glass timber sash and case windows and a grey slate roof with a coped apex stack and skew. The rear extension has a piended slate roof.

The interior was not seen in 1994. The boundary wall is made of stugged ashlar with coping and was formerly topped with cast-iron railings.
