12 Hawthornbank Lane is good example of an early 19th century traditional building with much of its original form retained to the exterior. The elevation to the river provides a good visual termination to views along the Water of Leith from both bridges in the Dean Village. The building uses the steeply sloping site well with the two basement storeys to the river elevation built into the river bank. The elevation to Hawthornbank Lane (S) has good streetscape value with the original cobbles still retained in the lane.
