2 John's Place, Leith, Edinburgh

2 John's Place in Leith, Edinburgh, is a two-storey, single bay house built around 1825, originally part of the now-demolished No 1 John's Place. It is set back from the street and features a large front garden along with classical architectural details. The building is constructed from grey sandstone, with stugged ashlar on the front and coursed, squared rubble at the rear. Notable features include a dentilled pediment and angle pilasters.

On the front elevation, there are tripartite windows on both the ground and first floors, although the sidelights at the ground floor are blocked. A later doorway has been inserted to the right, which includes a dentilled cornice and a rectangular plate glass fanlight.

The rear elevation is gabled and includes a secondary door and a single window at the ground floor, along with another window at the first floor, while a window to the left has been blocked.

The windows are timber sash and case, with 2- and 4-pane designs on the front and a 12-pane design on the rear. The roof is slate with a stone ridge.

The front of the property features a tall rubble wall with flat coping, while the sides have rendered brick walls and a later gate. The interior was not seen in 1993.
