6 Rubislaw Den South, Aberdeen

6 Rubislaw Den South is a villa built in 1902 by Robert Gordon Wilson. It is a two-storey and attic structure with two bays, constructed from tooled coursed grey granite ashlar, featuring contrasting light grey granite long and short dressings on the south elevation, while the rest is made of Aberdeen bond granite rubble. The building has a base course, a string course that forms the first-floor cill course, and overhanging eaves, with long and short quoins.

The south (principal) elevation is asymmetrical, with a gabled bay that advances to the right. It features a four-light canted window on both the ground and first floors, supporting an advanced half-timbered gablehead on oversized stone brackets, along with a bipartite window inset. To the left, there is a doorway in the flanking bay with chamfered reveals, a corniced lintel, and a light grey granite keystone detail above. The entrance has a two-leaf panelled timber door with a deeply chamfered angle to the outer left, which includes a window in the centre of the chamfer, and is flanked by a window. Above, there is a bipartite window on the first floor and a piend-roofed tripartite dormer in the attic.

The east elevation features a gabled design with a window to the left on the first floor and a canted window to the right on the ground floor, which is flanked by a modern satellite dish. The bays to the right were not visible in 2000. The north elevation was also not seen in 2000. The west elevation is gabled to the right and includes a single-storey addition to the left, a tall stair window near the centre, and irregular fenestration elsewhere.

The villa has timber sash and case windows, with plate glass on the lower sashes and nine-pane upper sashes. The roof is covered in purple-grey slate with lead ridges, and there are gablehead and wallhead stacks with circular cans, along with cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 2000. The property also features square-plan gatepiers with pyramidal caps on the south side, which are shared with adjacent properties, and low coped granite ashlar walls between them, with granite and brick coped rubble walls for the remainder.
