Description
14 Westfield Terrace in Aberdeen is a two-storey villa with a basement and attic, designed by James Henderson in 1874. This six-bay mirrored double villa features a mix of Scots Baronial and Dutch-inspired detailing, constructed from Aberdeen bond granite rubble with cement-faced dressings. The building has a base course, chamfered reveals, raised margins, long and short quoins, and curvilinear gables and gablets.
The southeast elevation is symmetrical, consisting of two three-bay mirrored villas. The two gableted bays are advanced towards the center, with bipartite windows on the ground floor and a single window on the first floor. There is a small diamond-pane round-arched window in the attic. Each villa has a centrally located doorway on the ground floor, which is deeply chamfered with a blind shield at the keystone and accessed by stone steps. The door to No 14 is a two-leaf panelled timber door, while No 16 has a panelled timber door, both with fanlights above. The first floor features regular fenestration, and decorative triangular lucarnes are present in the attic. The outer left and right gabled bays have canted windows on both the ground and first floors, with round-arched windows set in the gableheads.
The northeast elevation includes a lean-to addition on the left side of the ground floor, with a window flanking to the right and a window above on the first floor. A round-arched window breaks the eaves at the base of the wallhead stack, with decorative triangular lucarnes to the right in the attic.
The northwest elevation has a modern conservatory on the ground floor, while the rest of this side was not visible in 2000. The southwest elevation is asymmetrical, featuring a bowed bay on the ground floor to the left, which is flanked by a greenhouse on the outer left.
The windows of No 14 are made of PVCu, while No 16 has four-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered in grey slate with a lead ridge, and it has coped skews with decorative skewputts. The gablehead and ridge stacks are coped, with predominantly octagonal cans, and there are pairs of diamond end wallhead stacks. The rainwater goods are made of cast iron.
The interiors were not seen in 2000. The boundary walls consist of low coped ashlar walls to the southeast and rubble coped walls to the remainder.
