9, 11, 13, 15, 17 Pirniefield Place, Leith, Edinburgh

9, 11, 13, 15, and 17 Pirniefield Place in Leith, Edinburgh, date from around 1804 and form a two-storey, seven-bay classical terrace with a raised basement and attic. The front is finished in ashlar sandstone, featuring polished and rusticated stone on the ground floor (except for the center bay), with stugged stone on the basement and first floor, and polished dressings. The gable wall is made of squared and snecked rubble, while the rear is constructed from coursed and squared rubble. The building has a base course and a band course that is broken at the center bay, along with a mutuled eaves cornice and a blocking course. The first-floor openings have projecting cills.

The southwest elevation is symmetrical, with the main entrance doors located in the center bays and additional doors at basement level in the outer bays. The round-arched doorways feature panelled doors and round-headed radial fanlights in the bays flanking a square-headed center door, which is set back and has a rectangular plate glass fanlight. The elevation is regularly fenestrated, with modern dormers over the outer bays and the bay to the right of center.

The southeast elevation consists of the gable wall, while the northeast elevation is three-storey with six bays arranged in a 1-2-2-1 pattern. Doors are located at the ground floor bays two, three, five, and six, with remodelled dormers over bays one, three, and five. There are cast-iron downpipes present.

At the front, the ground floor and first floor bays five, six, and seven have plate glass timber sash and case windows, while the center first-floor opening features a 12-pane timber sash and case window. The rear has a mix of modern glazing and original timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered in grey slate with ashlar skew copes, and there are multi-flue brick stacks with ashlar coping, along with slate-hung and piended dormers.

There are three separate flights of stone steps leading to the doors, which oversail the basements and are fitted with modern railings. The interior was not seen in 1995. The boundary wall consists of a coursed rubble dwarf wall with ashlar coping facing the street.
