Description

34 Albyn Place is a villa built around 1840, featuring two storeys, a basement, and an attic, with classical architectural details. The exterior is constructed from tooled coursed grey granite ashlar, which is finely finished at the margins and dressings. Notable elements include a base course, panelled strip quoins, an eaves course, a cornice, and a blocking course.

The north elevation is symmetrical, with a doorway in the centre bay on the ground floor. This doorway has an ashlar doorpiece, pilasters that support a segmental-arched pediment, and a two-leaf panelled timber door topped with a letterbox fanlight. The basement windows are enclosed by railings, and there are tripartite windows in the flanking bays on the ground floor, which are pedimented with consoles. The first floor features three regularly placed architraved windows, and there are two piend-roofed rectangular dormers in the attic.

The west elevation is gabled, with bipartite windows in the centre of the ground floor and 2-light windows on the first floor above, flanked by a single window to the left. There is a window set in the gablehead of the attic, flanked on the left by a window and on the right by a blind opening.

The south elevation is near-symmetrical and includes a modern addition to the basement and ground floor, with a window to the left on the ground floor. A round-arched stair window is located in the centre bay between the ground and first floors, with canted 3-light oriel windows flanking it. The attic features a slate-hung rectangular dormer with a single central window, flanked by bipartite windows on both sides.

The east elevation is gabled, with a window in the centre of both the ground and first floors, flanked to the right by a single window. There are three blind windows set in the gablehead of the attic.

The villa has a variety of timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with a metal ridge, and coped stone skews with blocked skewputts. The gablehead stacks are made of corniced ashlar and topped with octagonal cans, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, some mouldings remain, and there is a staircase with decorative iron balusters.

The property also features square-plan gatepiers to the north with pyramidal caps, a low granite kerb wall to the north, and granite and brick coped rubble walls surrounding the remainder of the site.
