47 Belmont Street, Aberdeen

47 Belmont Street is a later 18th century, two-storey townhouse with an attic and basement, featuring three bays in a Classical style. The exterior is made of squared and coursed granite, topped with a moulded cornice.

The principal elevation faces east and includes an off-centre timber doorpiece with a cornice above the central bay. This doorpiece is framed by three fluted pilasters and leads to a double-leaf, six-panel timber door on the left, with a ground floor window to the right. Above this, there is an astragalled, fixed pane stair window, and another six-pane fixed window above it. The attic features a pair of later tripartite, curved dormers, while the rear has a pair of canted dormers. Small, round-arched attic windows are present in the north and south gable ends. The rear elevation has four bays with regular fenestration on the first and second floors.

The windows throughout the building are twelve-pane timber sash and case. The roof is covered in grey slate, with ashlar skews and broad gable end stacks topped with moulded octagonal cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods are also present.

Inside, the townhouse features a well-preserved interior scheme. There is a narrow vestibule that leads to an inner double-leaf door with glazed panels. The central rectangular stairwell, located at the front of the building, rises to the attic level and is adorned with turned timber balustrades and a hardwood handrail. Most of the principal rooms at the rear have moulded stone chimneypieces, and the interior is enhanced by panelled friezes and ornamental cornicing throughout.
