Description

12 Cramond Road North is a modern movement house designed by Morris and Steedman, built between 1955 and 1957, with a bedroom wing extension added in 1964 and later alterations to the garage, sunroom, and kitchen by Steve Yeoman McAllister around 1996. The house features a T-plan layout and is a single-storey structure made up of intersecting rectangles topped with an oversailing flat roof. The entrance elevation is marked by a rectangular sandstone rubble chimney and a water tower. The main part of the building runs northwest to southeast, with the garden elevation facing northeast, showcasing a continuous row of picture windows that is interrupted at the center by the advanced sunroom from 1996. The garage wing, which has deep bracketed eaves, extends from the center of the entrance elevation, and sandstone rubble walls enclose the area to the right, creating an entrance courtyard. The exterior includes white painted brickwork alongside some sandstone-rubble walling.

Inside, there is a glazed entrance lobby located in the re-entrant angle beneath the projecting eaves of the garage, within the walled courtyard. This lobby features floor-to-ceiling glazing on one side, intersected by a rubble tower that houses the sitting room fireplace, chimney, and water tank. A brick-walled section to the right of the courtyard was built in 1964. The garage has slatted timber doors set back between brick piers.

The interior includes a hall and an extension corridor with a timber-boarded ceiling and cross-beams. The living room features a stone chimneypiece and recess. Throughout the house, there are flush floor-to-ceiling painted timber internal doors with lever handles, and fitted wardrobes are present in the 1964 bedroom extension.

The garden walls and terraces consist of random rubble walls that form a courtyard in front of the house, with a stone trough set into the wall on the courtyard side. Steps across the courtyard are currently covered by timber decking, added in 2003. Low rubble boundary and retaining walls support the terraces leading to the garden.
