Description

188 Grange Loan in Edinburgh is a two-storey terrace building with an attic, designed by D M Sutherland in 1904. It consists of four double villas with four bays each and two terminal single villas. The exterior is made of stugged ashlar with polished dressings, featuring a base course, a cornice at the eaves, chamfered reveals, and dentilled pediments above the doorways and dormer windows. The doors are panelled, with plate glass fanlights above them. There are dividing cornices for the canted windows, and the parapets above the canted windows create balconies for the dormers. The terminal villas at Nos 202 and 204 have long and short quoins.

On the south elevation, each of the four double villas has doorways in the centre flanked by narrow single lights. The right-hand doorway of each double villa features triangular pediments, while the left-hand doorways have round-arched pediments. There are single windows on the first floor and single light dormers above. The outer bays have full-height canted windows, with tripartite dormers above them. The dormer pediments match the shape of the doorway pediments. The recessed terminal villa on the outer left has a side entrance and a corniced single window at ground floor to the left, sharing similar detailing with the right half of the paired villas. The terminal villa on the outer right has some matching details to the left half of the paired villas but lacks pediments on the dormers.

The windows are plate glass sash and case. The roof is a grey slate mansard with mutual coping, corniced mutual stacks, moulded cans, and moulded eaves guttering, along with original rainwater goods.

The interiors were not seen in 1990. There is a low coped wall along the street with remnants of cast-iron railings.
