Eastbank, 17 Fonthill Road, Aberdeen

Eastbank is a mid-19th century, two-storey, three-bay Tudor villa located at 17 Fonthill Road in Aberdeen. The building is constructed from coursed rubble granite, featuring finely finished long and short dressings at the margins, a base course, projecting cills, and strip quoins.

The west elevation, which is the principal facade, is asymmetrical with a slightly advanced gabled bay at the center. It has a stop-chamfered Tudor-arched doorway with two stone steps leading up to a two-leaf panelled timber door topped with a fanlight. Above this doorway, there is a two-light leaded glass window on the first floor. The right flanking bay has a two-light window on the ground floor and a gableted two-light window that breaks the eaves on the first floor. The left flanking bay features a gabled design with a three-light window on the ground floor and a two-light window on the first floor.

The south elevation was not visible in 1999. The east elevation is also asymmetrical and features twin gables. The second floor and attic are cement-faced, and there is a single-storey and attic addition that has been advanced to the left at ground level, along with later additions and alterations. To the right, there is a piend-roofed porch. The north elevation is asymmetrical with irregular fenestration on the ground floor and gableted windows breaking the eaves on the first floor.

The villa predominantly has timber-framed casement windows, with lying panes on the first floor. The roof is covered in grey slate with a lead ridge, and it has coped stone skews with blocked skewputts. The roof features corniced paired octagonal ridge, gablehead, and wallhead stacks with both circular and octagonal cans, along with cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 1999.

Additionally, there are two granite ashlar square-plan gatepiers with corniced necks and flat pyramidal caps located to the northwest of the house, flanked by high rubble boundary walls with rubble coping.
