17 Hatton Place, Edinburgh

15 Hatton Place is a double villa built around 1868, featuring two stories and an attic. The building has a symmetrical, rectangular plan with single-storey pavilions. It is constructed from squared and snecked rubble, with stugged ashlar and polished dressings on the south elevation. Notable architectural details include base and eaves courses, long and short quoins, raised and shaped window surrounds, and bracketed cills.

The south entrance elevation has bipartite windows at the center of the ground floor and tripartite windows above. There are slightly advanced round-arched doorpieces on either side, complete with keystones, carved consoles, and cornices, leading to deep-set panelled doors with plate glass fanlights. Full-height canted windows with dividing cornices are located in the outer bays. The building also features single-storey pavilioned service wings that adjoin it, along with four canted dormers in the attic.

The east and west elevations include service wings at the ground floor, with blank walls above. The north elevation has six bays, featuring round-arched stair windows at the second and fifth bays and single dormers breaking the eaves with cat-slide roofs above. There are single windows at the ground and first floors in the remaining bays, along with bipartite dormers at the first, third, fourth, and sixth bays. Secondary entrances with fanlights lead to the service wings on the outer left and right.

The windows are regularly arranged sash and case styles, with plate glass in 4-pane and 8-pane patterns. The roof is pitched with grey slate, featuring lead flashing, coped gables, two corniced wallhead stacks, one corniced mutual stack, and moulded eaves guttering.

The interiors have not been seen since 1990. The property is enclosed by a low coped wall to the street, which rises to the east, along with high coped mutual walls and a boundary wall to Sciennes Road.
