25 Albyn Place, Aberdeen

25 Albyn Place in Aberdeen is a house built around 1830, with additions made by J Russell Mackenzie in 1875. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure with adjoining wings, constructed from finely finished, tooled coursed granite with a base course, projecting cills, and overhanging eaves.

The north elevation is symmetrical, featuring a central three-bay block with a pedimented open porch supported by Tuscan columns. The porch has a two-leaf panelled timber door with glazed upper panels and a letterbox fanlight. There are windows in the flanking bays on both sides and three regularly placed windows on the first floor. The two-storey, single-bay wings are slightly advanced on the outer left and right, each with architraved windows on the ground floor, cornices with consoles, and panelled aprons on the first floor, topped with timber framing in the pediment.

On the west elevation, there is a single window off-centre to the right on the first floor. The south elevation has five bays, with a three-bay block in the centre and regular window placement on both the ground and first floors. A rectangular slate-hung dormer is present in the attic, and there is a modern addition on the left. Gabled bays on the outer left and right also feature near regular fenestration.

The east elevation has a doorway at the centre of the ground floor with a panelled timber door and a letterbox fanlight, flanked by a narrow window on the left. Above, there is a round-arched window on the first floor with a marginal glazing pattern.

The house predominantly features two-pane timber sash and case windows, a piended grey slate roof with lead ridges, and shouldered ashlar wallhead stacks with coped tops, including octagonal and circular cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods are also present.

Inside, the porch has a tiled floor and a glazed inner door, but false ceilings have been installed and no fireplaces remain. The boundary walls consist of low coped ashlar walls to the north, with square-plan piers featuring pyramidal caps at the corners, and coped rubble walls at the rear.
