Description
27 Raeburn Place is a double villa built around 1814, likely by James Milne, with an early 20th century single-storey block added to the north. The building features two mirrored houses, each with three bays, and is constructed from tooled coursed sandstone ashlar with polished dressings on the principal elevation, while the rest is made of sandstone rubble. It has long and short quoins, an eaves cornice, and an eaves blocking course.
The principal elevation is near-symmetrical, but the ground floor is obscured by modern shopfronts from single-storey retail units. The first floor has regular fenestration, and there is a four-light rectangular dormer on the left side of the attic floor, along with a gateway to the left.
The east and west elevations are gabled, while the north elevation was not visible in 1999. The building predominantly features 12-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with a lead ridge, stone skews, and coped gablehead stacks with circular cans. It also has cast-iron rainwater goods. The interior was not seen in 1999.
