Description
33 Queen's Road in Aberdeen is a villa designed by Marshall Mackenzie in 1894, with later additions and alterations to the rear. The building is two storeys high, with a basement and attic, and features three bays. The northwest elevation is constructed of rough-faced coursed grey granite, finely finished at the margins, while the rest of the building uses Aberdeen bond granite. It has a contrasting dark grey granite base course, cill courses for the ground and first floors, raised margins on the northwest elevation, and long and short contrasting dark grey quoins, along with an eaves course.
The principal elevation is symmetrical, featuring an elaborate doorpiece in the center bay at the ground floor. This includes a round-arched pilastered doorway with keystone detail set in an architrave, a cornice that steps up to the center enclosing a blind tablet, and scrolls on either side. A panelled timber door is accessed by four stone steps, with a radial astragalled fanlight above. The first floor has a window with a pediment that breaks the eaves, while the basement floor has regular fenestration in the flanking bays, tripartite windows at ground level, and single windows above on the first floor.
On the southwest elevation, there is a window to the left at ground floor. The southeast elevation is mostly obscured by a modern addition, which infills the attic floor. The northeast elevation has two doorways at the basement level, with the right doorway infilled to form a window, and a window located between the two doorways.
The villa features timber sash and case windows on the principal elevation, with small-pane upper sashes, and predominantly 4-pane sash and case windows elsewhere. The roof is piended with grey slate and has lead ridges, along with corniced wallhead stacks topped with circular cans and cast-iron rainwater goods.
Inside, there is a panelled and pilastered entrance hall and a Jacobean staircase with twisted and fluted timber balusters. The remainder of the interior was not seen in 2000.
The property also includes square-plan gatepiers on the northwest side, which are shared with adjacent properties, and a low coped rough-faced granite wall between them. The remaining boundary walls are made of granite and brick coped rubble.
