Description
St Philip's Church and Hall, located on Broughton Road in Edinburgh, was designed by John J Burnet in 1908, with a porch and vestry added in 1922. This free-style church features a two-storey, six-bay structure with a polygonal-sided entrance bay. The building is constructed of red brick, with the nave harled at the first floor. It has wide, large round-arched bays at the ground level, a battered course between the floors, and overhanging timber bracketed eaves. The church is situated above the hall, which is on the ground floor.
On the northeast elevation, there are six large round-arched windows separated by substantial battered and gablet-capped buttresses at the ground level. The outer left bay is slightly advanced and continues to the boundary wall. Above this, there is a set-back entrance bay featuring four domestic-style tripartite windows divided by pilasters. To the right, an advanced two-bay brick block breaks the eaves, with a two-leaf timber panelled door leading to the hall in a recessed entrance at the ground floor. This door has a deep ashlar lintel, with a vestry above it that has two-light narrow round-arched windows within recessed panels to the left, and a small window set within a small recessed panel to the right, dating from 1922. The principal church entrance at the first floor consists of a two-leaf timber panelled door with window panels to the right and a small window flanking it, while a small window is located at the ground level to the left of the entrance bay.
The southeast elevation features two-light windows in the 1922 porch at the ground level, with two-light round-arched windows above at the first floor. Steps lead up to the entrance at the first floor.
On the northwest side elevation, there is a gabled-headed bay with a steep pitch and cranked skew to the southwest, alongside a flat-roofed vestry to the outer left. The centre of this elevation has a recessed entrance at the ground level, with a small window to the left and two windows to the right. Above, to the left, there are two-light round-arched windows that light the chancel.
The church and porch feature leaded square-pane glazing, while frosted glass is used in some areas. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are wallhead stacks with terracotta cans on the projecting bay that breaks the eaves of the principal elevation. Modern railings are present at the hall windows.
Inside, the first-floor church interior has been re-oriented and refurbished, with brick walls and a narrow nave leading to a round-arched entrance to the chancel. The ground floor church hall interior was not seen in 1998.
The boundary walls surrounding the property are made of coped brick and coped stone.
