Description

1, 3, and 3A Beechgrove Terrace is a late 19th-century, three-bay cottage. It is built of tooled coursed grey granite with contrasting light grey granite dressings, finely finished to the margins. A base course and eaves course define the building. The north-west elevation, facing Beechgrove Terrace, is symmetrical. A corniced doorway with consoles sits in the centre bay of the ground floor, featuring a panelled timber door with a letterbox fanlight above. Plate-glass shop windows with doorways set back flank the central bay to the left and right. A curved angle incorporates a window at the outer left corner. Gableted dormers are above the centre of the attic floor, flanked to the left and right by canted dormers. The south-west elevation is gabled. The north-east (Westfield Road) elevation is also gabled, displaying a plate glass window to the right of the ground floor, an opening to the left, a pair of round-arched windows in the gablehead centre, and a single round-arched window flanking to the left. 2 Westfield Road adjoins the building to the left. The windows are predominantly plate glass and 2-pane timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate and features a lead ridge. The corniced gablehead stacks have circular and octagonal cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods are also present, alongside coped stone skews with blocked skewputts. The interior was not inspected in 2000.

2 Westfield Road, a late 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay house, adjoins Beechgrove Terrace. It is built of coursed Aberdeen bond grey granite, with finely finished margins. Projecting cills and an eaves course are visible. The north-east (Westfield Road) elevation is symmetrical. A round-arched doorway sits centrally on the ground floor, featuring a decoratively moulded architrave with impost and keystone details. A panelled timber door is flanked by glazed panels, and a stained-glass fanlight is above. Windows are present in the flanking bays, with regular fenestration on the first floor. The south-east elevation adjoins 1, 3, and 3A Beechgrove Terrace. The north-west elevation is gabled. Sash and case windows are 2-paned and timber. The roof is grey slate with a lead ridge, and corniced gablehead stacks have octagonal cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods and coped stone skews with blocked skewputts are also present. The interior was not inspected in 2000. A low, coped granite boundary wall runs along the north-east side of the property.
