5 Newbattle Terrace, Morningside, Edinburgh

5 Newbattle Terrace is a villa built around 1850, featuring two stories and a three-bay rectangular plan, along with a rear service wing and a front porch added in the late 19th century. The exterior is made of cream sandstone with a stugged ashlar front and polished dressings, while the rear and sides are constructed from squared and snecked stugged rubble. The building has a base course, a cill band course at the first floor, architraved windows, an eaves cornice with a blocking course, and plain angle pilasters topped with urn finials.

The south elevation showcases a single-storey entrance porch at the center, which has a pediment, a painted stone base, moulded timber pilasters, and leaded glazing. The entrance features a panelled door with a rectangular lead-paned sunburst fanlight, and a panelled inner door flanked by single windows. Above, there is a single window on the first floor. The outer bays at ground floor have large French doors with timber mullions and transoms, while the first floor has single windows.

The north elevation consists of a four-bay, two-storey gabled service wing with an apex stack and single windows in the center bays. To the left, there is a single-storey modern secondary entrance porch at ground floor, with a single window above on the first floor. To the right, a single-storey stone-built extension is located in the re-entrant angle, featuring a canted window facing west and a single window above on the first floor. Both the east and west elevations have a central conriced wallhead stack.

The villa has timber sash and case windows, mostly with eight-laying panes, and a black slate piend roof with metal flashings. There are two wallhead stacks and one apex stack. The interior was not seen in 1992.

The boundary wall is tall and made of rubble with semi-circular coping at the front, rear, and sides, and it includes two tall droved ashlar coped gatepiers. Additionally, there is a small wrought-iron domed gazebo in the garden to the south, featuring scrolled detail.
