4 Succoth Place, Edinburgh

4 Succoth Place in Edinburgh is a 2-storey gabled villa built in 1901 by Alexander Macnaughtan, with an additional bedroom added in 1910 by Hippolyte J Blanc. The villa features a castellated bowed bay and is constructed from squared and snecked sandstone ashlar, accented with polished dressings and long and short surrounds. Notable architectural elements include a moulded timber canopied cornice at the ground floor of the main block on the right, as well as a cornice and castellated parapet on the bowed bay of the advanced gabled bay on the left. The building has an eaves course, skews, and ball-finialled skewputts.

On the principal elevation, there is a recessed panelled timber door located at the angle of the return, framed with moulded margins. To the right of the door is a window and a canted bay. The first floor features a bipartite window on the left and, to the right, a window with a bold, moulded segmental pediment that is dentilled and bracketed. The ground floor of the gabled bay on the left has a 5-light bowed bay that is both corniced and castellated, with a tripartite window above that includes a large central light and a stepped, moulded hood-mould. Above the central light, there is a moulded segmental panel, and the finialled skew-putts extend downwards to form engaged columns supported by pedestals that align with the hood-mould. A horizontal moulding near the apex of the gable is raised at the centre, with a vertical moulding rising to a ball finial.

The villa features 2-pane timber sash and case glazing, with multi-pane upper sashes on the first floor. The roof is covered with grey slate and has red ridge tiles, along with coped ridge and wallhead stacks topped with cylindrical cans. The cast-iron rainwater goods complement the overall design.

Surrounding the property, there is a low, coped, squared and snecked sandstone boundary wall that lines the street.
