Kimberley, 9, 9A Rubislaw Den North, Aberdeen

Kimberley is a villa built around 1905, featuring two storeys and an attic with four bays and Elizabethan detailing. The northern elevation is constructed from finely finished tooled coursed grey granite with chamfered margins, while the rest of the building is made from Aberdeen bond granite. It has a rough-faced base course, a dividing string course, an eaves blocking course, and stone mullions and transoms on the windows.

The northern (principal) elevation is asymmetrical, showcasing a deeply chamfered Tudor-arched doorway located in the penultimate bay to the left at ground level. Splayed stone steps lead up to a two-leaf panelled timber door, with a bipartite window above it on the first floor. The penultimate bay to the right has bipartite windows on both the ground and first floors, while the outer right bay features tripartite windows. On the outer left bay, there is a prominent seven-light canted window spanning both floors, with a parapet that forms a balcony for the gabled attic floor, which also includes a bipartite window set in the gablehead.

The western elevation is also asymmetrical, with a gabled bay on the left and windows in the centre bay on both floors. To the right, there is a flat-roofed porch addition at ground level, which has a panelled timber door on the left return and a window above it, along with a gableted dormer in the attic.

The southern elevation was not visible in 2000.

The eastern elevation features a boarded timber door in the centre bay of the ground floor, with a canted three-light oriel window that is deeply corbelled out on the first floor. There is a bipartite window in the flanking bay to the right, which has an advanced flue breaking the eaves on the outer right. The left bay has an advanced section with a piend roof, windows on the returns, and a possible ingleneuk, along with an advanced flue rising from the roof to break the eaves.

The villa predominantly features timber sash and case windows with small-pane upper sashes. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a tiled ridge, with coped stone skew stones and gablehead and wallhead stacks topped with circular cans. The rainwater goods are made of cast iron.

The interiors were not seen in 2000.

The property includes square-plan gatepiers with pyramidal caps on the northern side, low rough-faced coped granite walls between the piers, and a stepped rough-faced wall adjoining the house to the east. The remainder of the boundary is enclosed by coped rubble walls.
