Description

62 Rubislaw Den South in Aberdeen is a villa designed by Robert Gordon Wilson in 1901. This two-storey and attic building features a two-bay layout. The ground floor is constructed from rough-faced coursed pink granite, while the upper sections are built with Aberdeen bond, showcasing finely finished margins. Notable architectural details include a base course, chamfered cills on the ground floor, a dividing band course, and projecting cills on stone brackets at the first floor. The gables are adorned with decorative hung terracotta tiles and terracotta finials at the apexes, along with overhanging eaves that have timber bargeboards.

The south elevation is asymmetrical, featuring a rectangular-plan four-light piend-roofed window on the ground floor of the left bay, flanked by decorative polygonal stonework panels with a timber overlay. Above, a gableted window breaks the eaves at the first floor. To the right, a gabled bay steps forward, showcasing a tripartite window on the ground floor and a bipartite window above.

The east elevation is also asymmetrical and consists of five bays. A flat-roofed bay is advanced at the center on the ground floor, with a bipartite window in the middle and a segmental-arched doorway with chamfered reveals to the left. This doorway features a panelled timber door flanked by glazed panels, and a balcony sits between the ground and first floors, supported by an open porch. To the left, there is a ground floor window in the bay, and above, a pair of gableted windows break the eaves at the first floor. A gabled bay is advanced to the right, with near-regular fenestration on both floors, and solar panels are located on the left return of the roof. A substantial late 20th century addition is present on the outer right.

The north elevation is mostly obscured by the late 20th century addition. The west elevation features an M-gabled design with a terracotta dragon finial at the apex of the right gable.

The villa predominantly has two-pane timber sash and case windows, a rosemary tiled roof with pierced terracotta ridges, and a square-plan lantern topped with a terracotta bird finial. Coped ridge stacks with circular cans and cast-iron rainwater goods complete the exterior.

The interior was not seen in 2000. The property also includes square-plan pink granite gatepiers to the south, with low walls in between, although the remaining boundary walls were not observed in 2000.
