Description
This is a substantial villa, designed by George Coutts and built in 1899, with subsequent additions and alterations. It is two storeys high, with a basement and attic, and originally comprised three bays. The villa is constructed of rough-faced coursed grey granite, with finer finishes to the south-east (principal) elevation; the remainder is of Aberdeen bond granite rubble. A rough-faced base course, a dividing band course, and a sill course are also visible, as is an eaves cornice.
The south-east elevation is symmetrical and features an elaborate doorpiece at the centre of the ground floor, accessed by stone steps with low stone walls. The round-arched doorway is supported by pilasters with rusticated bands, voussoir detail, and a keystone, topped by a segmental-arched pediment. A two-leaf panelled timber door is flanked by a fanlight with radial astragals. A bipartite window is above it on the first floor. A pedimented tower rises from the attic floor, featuring a balustraded apron and a near-pyramidal roof surmounted by iron brattishing. There are three-light canted windows to the ground floor on either side, and tripartite windows above on the first floor. Segmental-arched Venetian-style dormers light the attic. A modern stone stair addition is located on the outer left, with a doorway in the centre.
The north-east elevation features a stair window at its centre, with a variety of other door and window openings, alongside a wing adjoining the outer right. The north-west elevation is asymmetrical, with an advanced wing to the left and a modern lean-to conservatory in the centre of the ground floor. A single window sits above the conservatory, and a three-light canted window is present at ground floor to the right, covered by a slate roof. A bipartite window sits above it on the first floor, with bipartite, piend-roofed dormers lighting the attic.
The south-west elevation is largely obscured by a modern stair addition, although a window to the right of the first floor and a bipartite dormer to the attic are visible. Wallhead stacks, breaking the eaves line, are located to the left and right of the dormer, each featuring a pediment detail and blind oculus.
The windows are predominantly timber sash and case, with decorative upper sashes; metal secondary glazing has been added to the exterior. The roof is piended, covered in grey slate with lead flashings and iron brattishing. Coped wallhead stacks have circular cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods are in place.
The interior features stained glass flanking the inner door, panelled doors, decorative architraves, skirting boards, cornicing, and some moulded ceilings. A timber fireplace remains, along with turned balusters to the stair and stained glass in the stair window.
Square-plan gatepiers define the south-east boundary, with a low, coped rough-faced wall between them. Rubble walls form the remainder of the boundary.
