Description

3 Claremont Park in Edinburgh is a pair of classical terraced houses, likely designed by Thomas Hamilton around 1827. The main block is two stories high with six bays and is flanked by single-storey pavilions. The front is finished in polished ashlar sandstone, while the sides and rear are constructed from coursed squared rubble with ashlar quoins. The main block features a base course, a cill course for the first-floor windows, an eaves cornice, and a blocking course, with similar courses present on the pavilions.

The north elevation is symmetrically designed and has a regular arrangement of windows. The entrance doors are located in the central bays, framed by three pilasters and topped with a uniting cornice. The door to No 3 is panelled, and both doors have plate glass rectangular fanlights above. Each pavilion has a single window, and there is a modern single bay extension to the right and a screen wall to the left.

The west and east elevations are blank gable walls. The south elevation's ground floor was not visible in 1995, but the first floor has four regularly spaced bays, with a rectangular dormer at No 3 and roof lights.

The front features plate glass timber sash and case windows, except for a 12-pane window on the left pavilion. The rear first-floor windows include plate glass timber sash and case at No 2 and a 12-pane window at No 3, with modern glazing in the dormer. The roofs of the main block and pavilions are covered in grey slate and are piended, with the dormer also slate-hung and piended. There are three wallhead chimney stacks: one with six flues made of incised ashlar with a cornice on the side elevations, and another with four flues that is rendered with ashlar coping on the rear.

The interior was not seen in 1995. The boundary walls consist of a droved ashlar dwarf wall with ashlar coping facing the street, and a rubble garden wall topped with semi-circular ashlar coping. The gatepiers and lamp brackets are made of square-section ashlar with shallow pyramidal caps and cast-iron lamp brackets.
