13B Chamberlain Road, 13A, Morningside, Edinburgh

This building, located at 13B Chamberlain Road and 13A Morningside in Edinburgh, is a two-storey, three-bay rectangular villa designed by Robert R Raeburn around 1874. The exterior features cream sandstone with squared and snecked stugged rubble at the front, and squared and snecked rubble at the rear and sides. Notable architectural details include a base course, architraved stilted segmental-arched openings, slender nook-shafts with foliate capitals, fillet detail to the quoins, and ashlar aprons beneath the ground floor windows. The wallhead stacks are shouldered with dentilled cornices, and the building has a banded ashlar frieze and corbelled eaves.

On the south (front) elevation, the central doorway is flanked by pedestaled pilasters with foliate capitals and topped with a broken segmental-arched pediment on carved consoles. The entrance features a panelled door and plate glass flanking light. Above, there is a single window at the first floor. The right bay has full-height canted windows with a platformed half-piend roof, while the ground floor windows are round-arched. The left bay contains single windows on both the ground and first floors. A modern single-storey extension is located on the outer right.

The north (rear) elevation showcases a central tall round-arched stair window with square leaded panes and stained glass insets, along with a single-storey outhouse featuring a piend roof. The east elevation includes a single-storey addition at the ground floor, a central window at the first floor, and two wallhead stacks. The west elevation has single windows in the central bays and two wallhead stacks.

The villa features timber sash and case windows with two panes. The roof is covered in slate with piend and platform sections, swept eaves, and lead flashings, complemented by a moulded eaves gutter and gutterheads.

The property is enclosed by a tall rubble wall at the rear and sides with semi-circular coping, and a low wall at the front with saddleback coping, along with later gates and railings. The interior was not seen in 1992.
