30 Rubislaw Den South, Aberdeen

30 Rubislaw Den South is a villa built in 1897 by W and J Smith & Kelly. It is two stories high with an attic and features three bays. The building is constructed from tooled coursed grey granite ashlar, with contrasting light grey long and short dressings finely finished on the south elevation, while the rest is made of Aberdeen bond granite rubble. It has a base course, projecting cills, and a cill course on the first floor of the south elevation, along with long and short quoins, overhanging eaves, timber bargeboards, and half-timbered details on the gableheads.

The south elevation is asymmetrical, featuring a segmental-arched, roll-moulded doorway in the center bay of the ground floor, with an architraved doorpiece and a two-leaf panelled timber door. To the left of the doorway is a window, and the outer left angle is deeply chamfered with a window in the center. Above, there is a bipartite window in the center of the first floor. The gabled bay on the right is advanced and has a shallow three-light canted window spanning the ground and first floors, supporting a projecting gablehead.

The east elevation is also asymmetrical, with a gabled bay to the left that has a canted window on the ground floor, and a garage adjoining on the outer right. The north elevation features a bipartite window to the left of the ground floor, with a single window above it. There is a gabled wing advanced to the right, which has a projecting single-storey and attic lean-to, with irregular fenestration on the left return and a single-storey addition on the right return.

The west elevation is asymmetrical as well, with a gabled bay to the right and a large stair window near the center, while a single-storey addition is advanced to the outer left. The villa has a variety of timber sash and case windows and a green-grey slate roof with lead ridges. Corniced gablehead and wallhead stacks feature circular cans, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, there is a panelled entrance hall with a round-arched stair screen and turned balusters on the staircase, with some mouldings still intact.

The property includes square-plan ashlar gatepiers with pyramidal caps on the south side, a low coped ashlar wall between them, and rubble walls for the remainder of the boundary.
