Description
10 Westfield Terrace in Aberdeen is a two-storey and attic double villa built in 1874 by James Henderson. It features a symmetrical six-bay design with mirrored three-bay sections, showcasing a mix of Scots Baronial and Dutch-inspired detailing. The exterior is constructed from rough-faced grey granite ashlar with cement-faced dressings, and includes chamfered reveals, raised margins, and long and short quoins. The first-floor gableted windows break the eaves, and there is a blind shield set in the gablehead, along with an eaves course, curvilinear gables, and gablets.
The southeast elevation is symmetrical, with a turret that breaks the eaves at the center, corbelled out at the first floor. It features a round-arched window and small diamond-pane windows in the attic, topped with a crenellated parapet and an iron finial at the center. The two central bays of the ground floor have bipartite windows, and there are doorways in the center bay of each villa at ground level. These doorways are deeply chamfered with a blind shield at the keystone and accessed by stone steps, with a two-leaf timber door for No 10 and a replacement boarded two-leaf door for No 12, both with fanlights above. The first floor has regular fenestration, with two triangular lucarnes in the attic. The gabled bays are advanced to the outer left and right, featuring canted windows on the ground and first floors, with a canted attic floor above the cornice that includes a round-arched window inset.
The northeast elevation has a curvilinear-gabled bay at the center with a window. The northwest elevation was not seen in 2000. The southwest elevation also features a curvilinear-gabled bay at the center with a window on the first floor.
The villa predominantly has timber sash and case windows for No 10, while No 12 has replacement PVCu windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a lead ridge, with coped skews and decorative skewputts. The gablehead and ridge stacks are coped, with predominantly octagonal cans, and there are a pair of wallhead diamond end stacks with decorative cans. The rainwater goods are cast iron.
The boundary walls and gates consist of low coped ashlar walls on the southeast with iron gates, and rubble coped walls for the remainder.
