18 Cluny Place, Edinburgh

18 Cluny Avenue in Edinburgh is a pair of 2-storey asymmetrical semi-detached mock Tudor houses designed by R Rowand Anderson and dated 1895. The houses feature a half-timbered first floor and gables, with white render and black half-timbering, along with some red sandstone dressings. The structure has an ashlar base course, a moulded timber corbel course above the ground floor, plain bargeboards, exposed rafters, and timber mullions.

On the east elevation facing Cluny Place, the houses have a 2-bay design with a broad advanced gabled bay on the right. This bay includes a panelled entrance door set within a roll-moulded basket-arched stone surround, a frieze featuring a thistle motif and the date, and a single window above on the first floor. To the left, there is a single-storey canted window on a rendered base, with a tripartite window above on the first floor. The left gabled bay features a rectangular projecting tripartite window at the ground floor in the re-entrant angle, with a tripartite window above on the first floor.

The south elevation facing Cluny Avenue has a broad advanced gabled bay on the left, which includes a round-arched glazed entrance porch on a rendered base to the right, complete with moulded timber pilasters and a panelled door on the return. Above this porch is a single window on the first floor. To the left, there is a single-storey canted window on a rendered base, with a tripartite window above on the first floor. The recessed bay to the right is blank.

On the west elevation, there is a single-storey projection at the center topped with a half-pitched roof. The left gabled bay features bipartite windows, while the right side has a bipartite window on the first floor that breaks the eaves in a pedimented dormer head, with a shouldered wallhead stack linked to the roof.

The north elevation has single windows on both the ground and first floors. The houses are fitted with small-pane timber sash and case windows and have a green slate roof with red ridge tiles. The rendered stacks feature ashlar coping, including one wallhead stack and one broad central stack.

The interior was not seen in 1992. The property is enclosed by a tall rubble wall at the rear and side, which has semi-circular coping, and a low stepped rubble wall to the east and south.
