64 Forest Road And Gate Piers, Aberdeen

64 Forest Road is a villa built in 1899 by Alexander Mavor. It is a two-storey and attic structure with two bays, constructed from rough-faced coursed grey granite ashlar, with finely finished margins on the east elevation. The remainder of the building features tooled granite and granite rubble. Key architectural elements include a base course, a dividing band course, and an eaves course.

The east elevation, which is the principal façade, is asymmetrical. It has a gabled bay on the left with a three-light canted window featuring a scalloped parapet on the ground floor, a bipartite window above, and a round-arched tripartite window with a keystone detail in the attic, topped with a stone finial. The right bay has bipartite windows on both the ground and first floors, with a dormer above in the attic.

The north elevation features a pair of gables and irregular window placement. The west elevation includes a single-storey wing at the centre of the ground floor, with a window flanking to the left at the first floor. There is a piend roofed bipartite dormer to the left of the attic and a shouldered wallhead stack breaking the wallhead at the centre.

The south elevation is also asymmetrical and consists of two bays. It has a gabled tripartite window at the centre of the ground floor, a bipartite window on the first floor, and a round-arched tripartite window set in the gablehead, with a stone finial at the apex. There is a flat-roofed porch with a crenellated parapet and a panelled timber door on the right return. A window is located to the right of the ground floor, with another window centred above the porch on the first floor.

The villa features two-pane timber sash and case windows, as well as some PVCu windows. It has a grey slate roof with lead ridges, coped stone skews with beaked skewputts, and coped wallhead stacks with gablet detail and circular cans. The rainwater goods are made of cast iron.

The interior was not seen in 2000.

The property also includes square-plan gatepiers to the southeast with decorative pyramidal caps, low rough-faced granite walls flanking the entrance, and rubble walls surrounding the remainder of the site.
