Description
Eastbourne House, located at 76 Promenade and 20 and 21 Bedford Terrace in Joppa, Edinburgh, is a 2-storey, 3-bay irregular-plan Rogue Baronial villa designed by James C Walker in 1868, with later alterations and additions. The building features stugged ashlar with polished dressings, a base course, a moulded string course between the ground and first floor, and an eaves course.
The northeast elevation, which faces the promenade, includes a prominent 3-stage entrance tower at the center. This tower has a round-arched doorpiece with a key-stone, panelled two-leaf outer doors, and a stained glass upper panel on the vestibule door, topped by a plate glass semicircular fanlight. Above the entrance, there is a corbelled balustraded balcony leading to a pedimented window at the second stage, and a shouldered window at the third stage, which also has chamfered angles. The tower is capped with a polygonal piended roof adorned with cast-iron brattishing. To the right, there is a window on each floor, with a cast-iron window guard and a stylised pedimented and finialed dormer head on the first floor that breaks the eaves. The outer left features a canted 2-storey window in a gabled bay, complete with coped skews and kneelers.
The southwest elevation is not fully visible as of 1994, but it includes a rounded-headed stained or painted glass stair window and a single-storey addition at the southeast corner.
The building has plate glass timber sash and case windows, and a grey slate roof, with purple slate on the rear and fish-scale slates on the piended tower at the center. Gablehead stacks are present, along with tall moulded octagonal chimney cans and a finial on the skewputt to the outer right.
The boundary walls and gatepiers consist of a squared and snecked sandstone wall with moulded coping along the street, featuring stop-chamfered arrises on the corniced pedestrian gatepiers and a tall wrought-iron gate.
