2 Devanha Gardens West, Ferryhill, Aberdeen

Approximately dating to around 1900, this is a two-storey and basement, three-bay Arts and Crafts villa designed by John Ross McMillan. The exterior is predominantly harled and painted cream, with contrasting stugged granite dressings. A deep granite base course is visible, along with long and short dressings and quoins, bracketed overhanging eaves, and timber bargeboards.

The north-west (entrance) elevation is asymmetrical, with two bays. A gabled bay to the right features two windows on the ground floor and a tripartite window above. A granite doorway, with a console, is situated in the re-entrant angle to the left, leading to a boarded timber door with decorative oval glazed panels. Above the door is a shallow, four-light bow window with decorative latticed glazing. A recessed bay to the left has a six-pane window on the first floor, and a four-light timber prism oriel window illuminates the attic floor.

The south-west elevation has been altered with openings to the ground floor, linking a door and window. Two M-gabled bays are present to the right, with a window to the ground floor of the central bay and a three-light timber prism oriel window on the first floor. A large, six-light harled canted window extends through the ground and first floors, finished with sandstone dressings.

The south-east elevation is also asymmetrical and three-bayed. An advanced chimney flue is centrally placed between two gabled bays. A small, barred window is found in the bay to the right at basement level, with a window above. A large, sixteen-pane window is on the ground floor of the bay to the left, with a bipartite window on the first floor. The ground floor of the bay to the outer left is obscured by later harled, flat-roofed additions; a sweep of the roof covers a first-floor timber balcony with finely turned balusters.

On the north-east elevation, a window is centrally placed on the ground floor. A pink granite, seven-light canted window is present in the bay to the left of the ground floor, with a timber cornice. Above this is a Venetian window in the flanking bay. A shallow, six-light bow window is on the ground floor of the bay to the right, with a quadripartite window on the first floor.

The windows are a mixture of small-pane timber casements, many with top hoppers. The roof is covered with Ballachulish slate, with a tiled ridge. A variety of uncoped, rounded granite stacks are present, harled to the south, and topped with circular cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods are fitted. The interior was not inspected in 1999.
