20 Hamilton Place, Aberdeen

20 Hamilton Place in Aberdeen is a villa built in the later 19th century, featuring two stories and an attic with three bays, showcasing Scots Baronial and Gothic architectural details. The principal elevation is made of tooled coursed grey granite, while the rest of the building is constructed from granite rubble, finely finished at the margins. The design includes a base course, chamfered cills, a dividing string course, and overhanging eaves.

The southeast, or principal elevation, is asymmetrical with a central doorway on the ground floor. This doorway has a shallow ogee-moulded lintel and a segmental-arched hoodmould above, adorned with scrolled label stops. It features a panelled timber door topped with a dentil moulded lintel and a letterbox fanlight. Above the door, there is a trefoil-headed panel with a blind shield inset. To the right, there is a gabled bay with bipartite windows on both the ground and first floors, topped with a decorative finial. On the outer left, a three-light canted window spans the ground and first floors of the bay, ending in a steeply pitched canted roof. This roof has three piend-roofed dormers that break the pitch, each with timber-framed shouldered windows and decorative iron finials at the apexes.

The northeast elevation is also asymmetrical and gabled, featuring openings on the ground floor, including a decoratively traceried two-light stair window at the center. The northwest elevation was not visible in 2000, while the southwest elevation is gabled and has a two-storey addition that adjoins the adjacent building on the outer left.

The villa predominantly has two-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with a lead ridge, and coped stone skews with gableted and decorative skewputts. The gablehead stacks are corniced with octagonal cans, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods. The boundary walls consist of low granite walls on the southeast side. The interior was not seen in 2000.
