Description
4 Edinburgh Road in Dalkeith is a tenement building dated 1823. It is three stories high with five bays arranged in a 1-3-1 pattern. The south elevation features stugged ashlar that is painted at the ground level, while the other elevations are made of rubble. There is a base course and a band course between the ground and first floors, as well as a cill course at the second floor.
On the south elevation facing Edinburgh Road, there is a central panelled door with a plate glass fanlight, flanked by three large windows that are slightly misaligned, with two on the right. To the outer left, there is a smaller window above an arch that indicates a former pend opening. The first and second floors have regular fenestration. An inscription reading "W 1823 P" is located on the band course in the outer left bay.
The north elevation, facing Bruntons Close, features a later piend-roofed square stair tower bay to the left of the center, with three windows on the north side. The center bay contains a door and two stair windows, while there are three small bathroom windows in the bay to the right of the center. The outer bays also have regular fenestration.
The west elevation is blank and consists of a harled gable wall from a formerly adjoining two-storey building, which retains a flue. The east elevation is adjoined to No 2 Edinburgh Road, which is listed separately.
The building has a 4-pane glazing pattern in its sash and case windows, with smaller upper sashes in the second-floor windows on the south elevation. Modern flush wrought-iron window guards are installed over the lower sashes of the ground floor windows on the south elevation. The roof features coped skews and gablehead stacks, with a former mutual stack and flue from the demolished adjoining building retained on the west side. The roof is covered with grey slates.
