Ingleside, 58A Rubislaw Den South, 58, Aberdeen

Ingleside is a villa dating from 1900, designed by Brown and Watt, with later additions. It is located at 58A Rubislaw Den South, Aberdeen. The villa is two storeys and has an attic. The principal, south elevation is asymmetrical and constructed of tooled, coursed grey granite ashlar with finely finished margins; the remainder of the building is granite rubble in Aberdeen bond. A rough-faced base course, dividing band course, first floor cill course, and eaves course are present, along with overhanging eaves. The south elevation features a round-arched doorway with a keystone detail, leading to a recessed, two-leaf panelled timber door, which is accessed by stone steps and has a fanlight above. An ogee-fronted, stone balustraded balcony is situated between the ground and first floors, with a recessed wall plane in the centre bay at the first floor, supported by stone brackets at lintel level. A glazed timber door with fanlight also features. A pilastered and pedimented tripartite dormer is located on the attic floor. The ground floor’s bay to the left has a tripartite window, while the first floor has a bipartite window. A deeply chamfered outer left angle is present on the ground floor. A stained glass window with an ogee lintel is in the centre, and a bowed angle below the eaves is present on the first floor. This bay is also characterized by three small windows with ogee lintels. A four-light canted window extends through the ground and first floors of the right-hand bay, with a bowed outer right angle on the first floor, and three small windows with ogee lintels. The east elevation is asymmetrical with a modern conservatory addition on the left of the ground floor and a rectangular, plan lean-to advanced to the right of the ground floor, featuring two stained glass windows, possibly forming an ingleneuk. A single window is central to the first floor, and a pedimented window with an ogee cill is situated centrally to two wallhead stacks at the attic floor. The north elevation has a doorway in the center of the ground floor, a stair window above, and a tripartite window to the left on the ground floor, with a single window above. A broad, gabled, four-light stained glass dormer is centred on the attic floor. Bays to the right were not visible in 2000. The west elevation is asymmetrical with irregular fenestration and a two-storey wing to the left, featuring a doorway on the right return. The windows are predominantly two-pane timber sash and case. The roof is piended and grey slate, with lead ridges and some modern skylights. Corniced wallhead stacks with circular cans are present, as are cast-iron rainwater goods. The interior retains a stained glass screen in the inner hall, alongside surviving mouldings and a staircase. Square-plan gatepiers with shallow pyramidal caps are positioned on the south side, connected by a low, coped ashlar wall and brick and granite coped rubble walls to the remainder.
