1-3 Eskbank Road, Dalkeith

1-3 Eskbank Road in Dalkeith is an earlier 19th-century, two-storey and attic, four-bay house that features an early 20th-century shop at ground level. The west elevation is made of squared and coursed rubble, while the other elevations are constructed from random rubble with ashlar dressings. The building has a base course, an eaves cornice, and a blocking course with raised margins.

On the west elevation facing Eskbank Road, there is a deep-set panelled door (No 5) with a fanlight, framed by a lugged architrave in the outer right bay. This bay is painted at ground level and has a band course between the floors. The remaining bays at ground level feature a fine early 20th-century tripartite timber shop front (No 3) with a polished slate base course. The shop front includes recessed fanlit glazed and panelled double doors, flanked by two plate glass display windows with bowed return windows at the entrance. Above this is a corniced fascia by William Hall, which sits over a fluted frieze with paterae, along with canopy attachments and timber shop gates. The first floor has regular fenestration, and there is a decorative timber trade sign with a wrought-iron bracket on the left fascia.

The east elevation consists of three bays, with windows on the first floor. There is a range of single-storey rubble outbuildings attached to the left bay. The north elevation has a window at ground level to the left and a stair window to the left of centre. The south elevation is adjoined to Nos 7 and 9 Eskbank Road.

The building features largely uPVC glazing, but there are small-pane sash and case windows in two 19th-century slate-hung canted and piended dormers on the west pitch. The east pitch has four irregularly disposed rooflights. The roof has coped skews and a broad corniced stack on the north side, covered with grey slates.

Inside, there is a glazed tile interior in the butcher's shop.
