14 Hermitage Drive, Edinburgh

20 Corrennie Gardens in Edinburgh is a pair of substantial semi-detached houses built around 1900 in the style of Professor F W Simon. These two-storey and attic homes feature a rear service projection and are constructed from red sandstone with square and snecked stugged rubble, accented by polished dressings. The buildings have chamfered reveals and tall tapering stacks that are linked to the roof over a single shoulder. The first-floor windows at the front have shallow half-piend roofs, while the rear features a catslide roof. The windows are adorned with ashlar mullions.

The east elevation facing Corrennie Gardens is symmetrical and consists of six bays. The outer bays are advanced and topped with half-piend roofs, featuring canted windows with half-piend roofs at the ground floor and single windows above on the first floor. The central bays have tripartite windows at the ground floor and single windows on the first floor. The left and right bays of the center contain single windows on both floors and tall wallhead stacks. There are single-storey recessed entrance porches at the outer left and right.

The south elevation is three bays wide, with a flat-roofed stone entrance porch at the center that includes two narrow vestibule windows. It has a roll-moulded corniced doorway with a panelled door on the return to the east and a single window at the first floor, flanked by smaller windows. There is a wallhead stack to the left of center and a narrow tripartite dormer.

The north elevation, facing Hermitage Drive, also has three bays. It features a flat-roofed stone entrance porch at the center with a scalloped parapet and a corniced, roll-moulded doorway with a panelled door. To the right, there is a single window with leaded lights, and another single window on the return, with a Venetian stair window above on the first floor. The outer bays have single windows on both the ground and first floors, with wallhead stacks to the right of center.

The west elevation, or rear, consists of six bays and includes a central single-storey service projection topped with a tall tile-hung mansard roof. The remaining bays have single windows. The houses feature small-pane timber sash and case windows, with a red tile piend and platform roof, and crested red ridge tiles. There are four wallhead stacks, including two central stacks with tapering cylindrical cans.

The interior was not seen in 1992. Surrounding the property is a tall rubble wall with semi-circular coping at the rear and side, and a low wall with saddleback coping to the south and east, along with later gates.
