20 Caledonian Place Including Boundary Wall, Ferryhill, Aberdeen

2 Caledonian Place is a terrace of cottages in Ferryhill, Aberdeen, possibly designed by James Matthews around 1859. The terrace consists of 24 bays made up of 12 single-storey and attic, 2-bay mirrored cottages, with later additions and alterations. The exterior features tooled coursed pink granite with polished sandstone dressings, some of which are painted. Notable elements include a base course, pilastered architraved doorways, panelled timber doors with letterbox fanlights (with replacements at Nos 6, 8, and 10), architraved window openings, an eaves course, and piend roofed canted dormers on the attic floor.

The south elevation is nearly symmetrical, with doorways at the center of each pair of bays, flanked by single windows on the outer left and right. Above these are dormers on the attic floor, along with irregularly placed modern and 2-pane skylights. Rectangular dormer additions are found above the doorways at Nos 6, 14, 16, and 18, while small gableted dormers with 4-pane windows are located at Nos 22 and 24.

The east elevation is asymmetrical and gabled, featuring windows on the ground floor and a single-storey addition on the outer right. The north elevation has irregularly placed windows and doors, canted dormers in the attic, and a variety of later additions and alterations. The west elevation is symmetrical and gabled, with two windows on the ground floor and a round-arched window centered above.

The windows are a mix of 2-pane and 4-pane timber sash and case styles, with modern glazing at Nos 6, 16, and 20. The roof is covered in purple-grey slate with a tiled ridge, and features coped gableheads and ridge stacks with predominantly octagonal cans. Coped stone skews have blocked skewputts, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 1999. The boundary walls consist of low granite walls, some topped with railings to the south, and coped rubble walls that incorporate garages and outbuildings to the north, west, and east.
