Farmhouse And Steading, 7 Cramond Bridge, Cramond Bridge, Edinburgh

The property at 7 Cramond Bridge in Edinburgh is a farmhouse and steading dating from the early to mid-19th century, with later additions.

The farmhouse is a single storey and attic structure with three bays, designed symmetrically. It is built from squared and snecked whinstone rubble, featuring ashlar dressings and long and short quoins. The main elevation has a modern glazed door at the center, which is accompanied by an original four-pane fanlight. This door is flanked by windows, with canted dormer windows above in the outer bays. There is a window and attic light centered in the northeast gable, with a window to the left and an attic light at the center of the southwest gable. The roof is covered with graded grey slate, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods and coped gablehead stacks.

The north range of the steading is from the earlier 19th century and has undergone alterations. It is a single storey building made of whinstone rubble with ashlar dressings and whitewashed brick. The roof features grey slate, pantiled, and corrugated-sheet cladding. The west elevation of the earlier building at the rear has nine infilled feeding windows.

The south range of the steading, a former mill building from the mid-19th century, is constructed from snecked whinstone rubble with later droved ashlar dressings. This two-storey building has a symmetrical five-bay northeast elevation, which includes irregular openings at the ground level: a wide door to the right, flanked by a window to the left, and a taller door and window to the right. At the first floor of the northeast elevation, there is a hay-loft door centered, flanked by windows, with additional windows in the outer bays. The ground level on the outer left features stabling with an original setted floor, tall trevises, and a boarded folding door, along with a later red brick lean-to stable projecting to the outer left. The southwest elevation has a sliding door at the center, with a window aligned above, and the roof is piended slate with various later additions.

Additional buildings to the northeast include rubble with ashlar dressings, such as a five-bay implement shed with iron stanchions in the bays. The outer two stanchions have been removed on the left, creating an irregular four-bay shed. The south interior wall has three feeding windows, two of which are inlaid with brick and shuttered with timber lintels, and the roof is clad with corrugated sheet.
