13 Tantallon Place, Edinburgh

This building, located at 13 Tantallon Place in Edinburgh, dates from around 1862 and is designed in the style of James Campbell Walker. It is a two-storey, four-bay double villa with a symmetrical rectangular plan. The exterior features squared and snecked rubble with hammer-dressed and polished dressings, chamfered reveals, and ashlar mullions, along with a base course.

On the west elevation, there are entrances located in the second and third bays, featuring two-leaf panelled doors and plate glass fanlights above. Consoled cornices are positioned above the doors, with single windows on the first floor. The outer left and right bays have slightly advanced and gabled windows, while bipartite windows are present on both the ground and first floors, with a single round-arched window in the gable head above. The design includes distinctive horizontal banding on the advanced bays and quoins.

The north elevation has a single window on the first floor. The south elevation also features a single window on the first floor and includes an attached single-storey piend-roofed carriage house with a finialled hay-loft door. The east elevation has single-storey piend-roofed service wings on both the outer left and right, with regular fenestration and secondary entrances in the second and third bays, as well as in the service wings.

The windows throughout are plate glass sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a double pitch, with bargeboarded gable heads on the advanced bays, including a finial on the outer left. There are two end stacks and a mutual stack, along with moulded eaves guttering, lead flashing, and a snow guard on the west side. A finialled 19th-century dormer is present on the west elevation, and there are four timber gabled and canted dormers on the east.

The interiors have not been seen since 1990. The property also features gateways and boundary walls, including a low boundary wall along the street that rises to a central corniced pair of pedestrian gateways with matching banding details. There is a pedestrian gateway attached to the north and a carriage gateway attached to the south, along with a rubble mutual wall to the east.
