Description

8, 9, and 10 Roseneath Place in Edinburgh is a two-storey terrace of eight houses, built in 1805. The houses are arranged in three bays and are constructed from squared coursed sandstone rubble with polished ashlar dressings. Notable architectural features include a base, eaves, and blocking courses, a tablet marking the center on the blocking course between numbers 4 and 5 Meadow Place, a dentilled cornice, raised door and window surrounds, and rusticated quoins on numbers 1, 4, 5, and 8 Meadow Place.

The northern elevation facing Meadow Place has the front elevation of number 1 obscured by a large pebble-dashed extension, which was formerly a laundry and is now a Gospel Hall. This extension has a painted composition block facade facing South Meadow Walk, and a similar block is linked by retaining walls to number 3. The doorways are irregularly arranged at bays 6, 9, 10, 13, 18, 19, and 22, featuring panelled doors and plate glass fanlights. There is a single window above the entrances in the remaining bays, with ground floor windows and doors corniced at numbers 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

The southern elevation, which faces Roseneath Place, has three bays for each house. Number 2 on the northern elevation and numbers 7, 6, and 5 on the southern elevation have 12-pane sash and case windows, while there is a mixture of plate glass and 4-pane sash and case windows elsewhere. The roof is pitched with grey slate, featuring mutual stacks and coping, along with a variety of dormers on the south and north sides.

The interior of number 7 includes decorative plasterwork, a cast-iron balustrade, and a dadoed apsidal drawing room. There is a continuous high coped rubble wall with pedestrian gateways leading to South Meadow Walk from numbers 4 to 8. Additionally, there are coped rubble mutual and boundary walls to Roseneath Place, as well as garages and outhouses associated with numbers 7, 6, and 5 Meadow Place.
