22, 22A Pittville Street, Edinburgh

22 and 22A Pittville Street in Edinburgh is a building dating from 1814, which has undergone later additions and alterations. It is currently divided into three properties. The structure is two stories high and was originally designed as a five-bay and three-bay house. It features a later two-story extension to the northeast and is located at the corner of the Promenade and Pittville Street.

The building has a painted render finish, with painted harl and painted squared render on the northwest elevation, painted rubble and render on the northeast, and painted render on the southeast rear elevation. It includes polished ashlar dressings and canted windows, along with a base course, a cill course to No 20, a cornice, and a blocking course.

On the northwest elevation facing Pittville Street, there is a modern door at the ground level of the central bay, framed by a pilastered doorpiece. A later canted window is present on the first floor, with windows on each floor of the flanking bays, although the right-hand windows are smaller. The left bay is blank.

The northeast elevation facing the Promenade features a modern timber addition at ground level in the central bay, with windows on the first floor and in the left bay. There is a later full-height canted window in the right bay. A fine cast-iron window guard with acanthus leaf design runs at first floor level to the canted window. The first-floor window in the later addition is accompanied by a modern single-storey bull-faced cement brick addition at ground level, which overlaps between the extension and the left bay, as well as a modern single-storey metal and glass addition at the ground of the extension.

The southeast rear elevation is not fully visible as of 1994, but it has later extensions, both two-storey and single-storey.

The building features plate glass timber sash and case windows and has a hipped and piended grey slate roof, with a piended later extension to the northeast and flat-roofed additions at ground level on the northeast elevation and the rear elevation. There is a stack at the apex of the piended roof on the northwest side.

The interior was not seen in 1994. The boundary walls consist of painted harl with stone coping on the northwest side and heavily pointed rubble on the northeast side, which includes a droved ashlar chamfered doorpiece to the right with the name "Seaview" inscribed, as well as a filled-in entrance to the left.
