5 South Crown Street Including Boundary Walls, Ferryhill, Aberdeen

13 South Crown Street, including the boundary walls, is a later 19th-century terrace located in Ferryhill, Aberdeen. This single-storey and attic structure consists of a 27-bay terrace featuring 2-bay and 3-bay cottages that step up the sloping site. The building is constructed of coursed Aberdeen bond granite rubble, with finely finished long and short dressings at the margins. It has a base course, projecting cills, and an eaves course. The timber doors are pilastered and panelled, some with letterbox fanlights and stained glass, while the doorways are corniced with consoles, except for Nos 4 and 5. The attic floor features canted dormers and irregular skylights.

The west elevation is asymmetrical, with Nos 3, 9, and 12 being 3-bay cottages that have a central door flanked by single windows, and two dormers above the windows. The outer bays of No 3 have canted ashlar windows, an eaves blocking course with decorative ironwork, and ironwork finials on the dormers. Nos 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, and 13 are 2-bay cottages with doorways flanked by single windows and two dormers in the attic. Nos 6 and 7 are 3-bay cottages with a doorway to the left and two windows to the right, also featuring two dormers in the attic.

The south elevation is symmetrical and gabled, with three windows in the centre. The east elevation shows a variety of additions and alterations, including dormers in the attic. The north elevation is symmetrical and gabled, with two widely spaced windows on the ground floor and a window in the centre of the gablehead above.

The windows are predominantly 4-pane timber sash and case, with modern timber windows featuring top hoppers at No 13. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a lead ridge, with coped stone skews and blocked skewputts. The gablehead and ridge stacks are made of coped granite and predominantly have octagonal cans. The building features cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interiors were not seen in 1999. The boundary wall consists of a low single block granite wall to the west, topped with railings in some areas, and coped rubble walls to the north, south, and east.
