Description

132 Constitution Street is an earlier 18th-century, two-storey and attic, five-bay house located in Leith, Edinburgh. It features a small front garden area and is rendered with painted margins, while the rear and side are constructed of rubble. The house has a base course and a banded eaves course.

The front elevation has a plain doorway at the center with a panelled door, and a window that has been altered to a door to the right. There are single windows in the outer bays, and five single windows on the first floor, with the center window having an architrave. Two narrow catslide dormers are positioned over the outer bays.

On the rear elevation, there is a small doorway at the center with a modern porch and a single window above it, along with single windows in the outer bays. The windows have timber lintels and some brick infill.

The house has modern tilt and turn windows throughout, a black slate roof with a stone ridge, a glazed rooflight, and a cast-iron rooflight. The apex stacks are rendered with octagonal cans.

Inside, there is a staircase with a timber balustrade, and the first floor features a bowed drawing room, which is a later alteration. This room has moulded panelling and matching shutters, as well as a bead and reel cornice.

The property is enclosed by a boundary wall with arrowhead railings on a low, coped rubble wall that screens a small forecourt.
