4 Pentland Road, Edinburgh

This is a two-storey and attic villa, built in 1914 by J Jerdan and Son. It is located in Edinburgh and is constructed with a harled exterior, a red-tiled roof, and a rubble base course to the east elevation. The design features an arched doorway on the east side, a circular bay at the southeast corner, a canted bay to the south, and a scullery projecting from the northwest corner. Later additions have been made to both the northeast and southwest corners.

The east elevation showcases a two-leaf timber panelled door set within an arched, roll-moulded tabbed architrave, highlighted by a prominent keystone and a deep, bracketed open segmental pediment acting as a canopy. The circular bay extending around the corner to the left features a cill-height battered random rubble base course. A 20th-century extension with a bell-cast roof is advanced to the outer right.

The south elevation’s central feature is an advanced two-storey canted bay with a rubble base course. A narrow, half-glazed garden door is located on the left return of this bay at ground level, and cornicing runs above the windows at both floors, and to the cill of the first-floor window. The attic is topped with a tripartite, flat-roofed dormer. Bipartite windows are present at both floors in the outer bays; the ground-floor window to the left is a later addition. First-floor windows break the eaves with piend-roofed dormerheads. The circular bay extending around the corner to the outer right echoes the design on the east elevation. A later outshot to the southwest corner features non-traditional sliding doors and a tiled roof.

The west elevation exhibits an irregularly fenestrated gable with a central buttress and a gablehead stack. A piend-roofed addition has been added to the southwest corner and a single-storey, two-window scullery projects to the outer left.

The rear (north) elevation is also irregularly fenestrated, with a large tripartite staircase window to the left and flat-roofed attic dormers. A scullery, projecting and featuring timber boarded doors to the left return, is situated to the right, alongside a late 20th century extension to the outer right.

The windows are predominantly timber sash and case, featuring 12-pane and 8-pane glazing. Corniced stacks with red clay cans rise from the roof, alongside red ridge tiles and cast-iron downpipes.

Inside, the lobby features red tiles and a half-glazed timber panelled inner door. A Canadian yellow pine staircase with turned balusters leads upwards. Original fireplaces, cornices to the principal rooms, and timber panelled interior doors remain.

A low, random rubble boundary wall supports a timber fence, marking the property's limits.
