Description
22 Rubislaw Den North is a villa built in 1906 by John Henderson. It is a two-storey and attic structure with three bays, constructed from tooled coursed grey granite with contrasting light grey dressings on the south elevation, while the rest of the building is made from coursed rubble. The villa features a rough-faced base course, projecting cills, a dividing string course, and overhanging eaves.
The south elevation is asymmetrical, with a central doorway on the ground floor that has a two-leaf panelled timber door and a letterbox fanlight, accessed by stone steps. Above this, there is a single window on the first floor. To the right, there is a five-light canted window on the ground floor, which has a parapet forming a balcony above with a tripartite window on the first floor. To the left, a piend-roofed bay is advanced, featuring a tripartite window on the ground floor and a bipartite window on the first floor.
The east elevation is blank, with a gablet detail at the wallhead stack. The north elevation was not visible in 2000. The west elevation has a large round-arched stair window near the centre, with irregular fenestration elsewhere. It also features a gablet detail at the wallhead stack to the right and a single-storey and attic wing to the outer left.
The villa predominantly has two-pane timber sash and case windows and a piended grey slate roof with lead ridges. The gablehead stacks are corniced with circular cans, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods.
The property includes square-plan gatepiers to the south, topped with shallow pyramidal caps, and low coped walls between them, with rubble walls surrounding the remainder of the property.
