ARCHITECT:
Rowand Anderson & Paul and Partners. alterations 1936
Liberton House, which forms the SE wing of a block of buildings, was built in the last quarter of the 17th century. It was restored not long before 1921 to reveal its character. The house is L-shaped on plan, and was originally two-storeyed, beneath a garret, with a 3-storeyed wing.
The outbuilding is probably slightly later that the house. One lintel is dated 1682.
The house is inhabited and in good repair.
