Description

This is a late 19th-century villa, built in 1895 to a design by Duncan McMillan, with later additions and alterations. It is an L-plan building of two storeys and an attic, exhibiting Tudor-Gothic detailing. The villa is constructed primarily of tooled coursed grey granite, finely finished to the margins of the southeast elevation, with Aberdeen bond granite rubble elsewhere. A base course, eaves course, and gableted dormers to the attic floor are also present.

The southeast elevation, which is the principal facade, is asymmetrical. A Tudor-arched, chamfered doorway is centrally positioned on the ground floor, featuring a decorative hoodmould that steps up to the centre, a panelled timber door with stained-glass upper panels, and a stained-glass fanlight. A single window sits above the door on the first floor. To the right, a three-light canted window is situated on the ground floor, topped with a part piended slate roof and iron brattishing. A similar window is above on the first floor. Two bipartite Tudor-arched dormers are set into the attic floor. A gabled bay projects to the left, featuring a three-light canted window extending through the ground and first floors, also topped with a part piended slate roof and iron brattishing, and a single Tudor-arched window in the gablehead.

The northeast elevation is gabled, with a window off-centre to the right on the ground floor, and a window centred in the gablehead at attic level. Additions are present on the outer right. The northwest elevation has a broad gabled bay advanced to the right; the ground floor is obscured by modern additions, and fenestration is irregular elsewhere with a recessed bay to the left. The southwest elevation is gabled centrally, with a doorway in the centre of the ground floor, a panelled timber door, and a tall three-pane fanlight above. A pair of windows are placed centrally on the first floor, and a single Tudor-arched window is set into the gablehead of the attic floor.

The majority of windows are timber sash and case, with predominantly two panes (some replacements are present). The roof is grey slate with lead ridges. Details include coped stone skews with gableted skewputts, coped gablehead stacks with predominantly octagonal cans, and cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior has a tiled floor in the entrance porch and a fine stained-glass inner door, flanked by stained-glass panels and a fanlight. The rest of the interior has been remodelled, with the staircase, mouldings, and fireplaces removed. Some panelled timber doors, architraves, and mouldings remain on the first floor, along with a marble fireplace in the principal room.

Square-plan gatepiers with pyramidal caps are located on the southeast side, shared with adjacent properties, and are connected by a low, coped, rough-faced granite wall. Further coped rubble walls define the remainder of the boundary.
