53-57 Westburn Road, Aberdeen

53-57 Westburn Road is an early 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay traditional house that has undergone later additions and alterations. It is constructed from Aberdeen bond granite rubble, featuring long and short dressings that are finely finished at the margins. The building includes a base course, projecting cills, long and short quoins, an eaves cornice, and an eaves blocking course.

The north elevation is symmetrical, with a doorway at the center of the ground floor that is corniced and supported by consoles. This doorway is accessed by three stone steps and features a panelled pilastered door with an infilled fanlight. There are windows on either side of the door, and the first floor has regular fenestration, while the attic floor has irregularly placed skylights.

The west elevation is asymmetrical and includes a single-storey wing attached to the ground floor, which has irregular modern fenestration. There is a panelled timber door and window on the left return, along with an eaves blocking course. The first floor features a window on the left, flanked by a smaller window on the right, and there is a round-arched opening centered in the gablehead.

The south elevation was not visible in 1999.

The east elevation has a gabled appearance, with a flat-roofed wing obscuring the ground floor. There is a small window at the center of the first floor and a round-arched window centered in the gablehead of the attic floor.

The building predominantly features four-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with graded grey slate and has a lead ridge. Coped granite ashlar stacks with octagonal cans are present, along with cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 1999.

Boundary walls include a low coped granite wall to the north of the house and coped rubble walls to the east and west.
