Description
The building at 11 Laverockbank Terrace in Edinburgh is a former manse, likely designed by John Dick Peddie around 1870. It is a two-storey structure with three bays, featuring a two-bay section that includes a two-storey canted window and a lower wing to the west at the rear. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked stugged sandstone, accented with ashlar dressings.
The principal elevation faces south and is regularly fenestrated. It has a timber panelled door topped by a shoulder-arched fanlight, set within a roll-moulded shoulder-arched surround that includes a hoodmould curving to the ground. This entrance is framed by a carved plaque that reads 'Free Church Manse.' The first floor features three gabled windows, each set in roll-moulded surrounds that break the eaves, with carved motifs in the gables. To the left, there is a single-storey outbuilding with a V-shaped roof.
The rear elevation, facing north, has a two-storey, two-light canted window in the left bay, which is corbelled out to form a square at the attic level and displays a heraldic device in the gable. The right bay is regularly fenestrated, and there is a regularly fenestrated single-bay wing to the right.
The west side elevation has an M-shaped roof, with the higher gable of the rear section visible behind it. The right gable is blank, while the left side features a tall round-headed window.
The east side elevation also has an M-shaped roof, with the left gable being blank. The right bay is regularly fenestrated and includes a heraldic device in the gable.
The windows throughout the building predominantly feature four-pane glazing in timber sash and case style. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and there are stepped stone skews. The decorative corniced ashlar stacks are topped with octagonal cans.
The property is enclosed by a low ashlar-coped rubble boundary wall at the front and a high random rubble retaining wall along Craighall Road, which includes arched coping and a garden door.
