Description

29 Albyn Place in Aberdeen is a classical house built around 1830, with minor internal alterations made by Arthur Clyne in 1892. This two-storey building features a basement and attic, and has three bays. The northern elevation is finished with finely tooled coursed granite ashlar, while the rest of the building is constructed with Aberdeen bond granite. Key architectural details include projecting cills, strip quoins, an eaves course, and overhanging eaves.

The northern elevation is symmetrical, featuring a pedimented porch with pilastered quoins that project at the center of the ground floor. It has a two-leaf panelled timber door with a letterbox fanlight, flanked by windows on both sides. The first floor has regular fenestration.

On the western elevation, there is a window at the center of the first floor. The southern elevation is near-symmetrical with a gabled bay in the center and regular fenestration. An addition was under construction on the outer right side in 2000. The eastern elevation has two openings on the right side of the ground floor and a window at the center of the first floor.

The house predominantly features four-pane timber sash and case windows, although some have been removed or altered. The roof is covered with grey slate in some areas, while the remainder was removed for replacement in 2000. It has coped wallhead stacks with octagonal cans and cast-iron rainwater goods.

The gatepiers and boundary walls consist of square-plan granite ashlar gatepiers to the north, which are battered and topped with segmental-arched caps. There is a low granite kerb to the north and coped rubble boundary walls surrounding the property.
