Torwood, 33 Woodhall Road, Edinburgh

Torwood, located at 33 Woodhall Road in Edinburgh, is a single-storey and attic Arts and Crafts suburban villa attributed to RM Cameron, built around 1900 with additions made in 1911 and 1915 by the same architect. The villa features a distinctive asymmetrical plan, shaped like a V at the rear, and showcases Scottish architectural elements. It has a red tiled roof, a stair turret, and crow-stepped dormers on the northwest side, along with additional turrets and dormers on the southeast.

The first floor is finished in white-painted render, while the ground floor is constructed from snecked rubble with stugged sandstone and polished ashlar dressings. A band course runs along the building, and the windows are arranged irregularly.

On the northwest (entrance) elevation, there is a two-leaf timber panelled door positioned to the right of the center, framed by a roll moulded surround and topped with a bracketed, corniced timber canopy supported by a decorative wrought-iron strut. The name "TORWOOD" is displayed in black lettering between the lintel and the canopy. To the right, there is an advanced stair tower with a long window, and to the left, a window with a later flat-roofed dormer above. A secondary timber panelled door with a small window is located to the left of center, featuring a plate glass fanlight. The attic includes a bipartite, crow-stepped gabled dormer. A recessed service wing, added in 1911, is located to the outer left and contains two ground floor windows and a flat-roofed dormer above.

The southwest (side) elevation has later glazing in the attic and features a lean-to extension from 1915, which includes a large advanced flat-roofed canted bay in the center.

The southeast (garden) elevation is four bays wide and includes the later service wing to the right. There is a corbelled turret at the angle with a small window and a finialled, conical roof. A quadripartite window is located at ground level to the right, with a bipartite piend-roofed dormer above. A canted bay is situated at ground level to the outer left, and a tripartite window with one section serving as a garden door is found at the outer right, with a piend-roofed dormer above.

The villa predominantly features small-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, with some casements. The chimney stacks are coped and rendered, some with shouldered designs, and are topped with red clay cans. The red tiled gabled roof has blocked eaves and a plain bargeboard on the southwest side.

Additionally, there is a boundary wall made of ashlar-coped squared and snecked rubble, complemented by a decorative cast-iron gate.
