30 Salisbury Terrace, Aberdeen

30 Salisbury Terrace is a villa built in 1888 by George Coutts. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure made of rough-faced grey granite with finely finished margins on the northeast elevation, while the rest of the building features coursed rubble. The villa has a battered dark grey base course, chamfered cills, a dividing band course, and ogee moulded lintels on the principal elevation. It also has overhanging eaves, timber bargeboards on the gables, and decorative iron finials at the apexes.

The northeast (principal) elevation is asymmetrical, featuring a Tudor-arched doorway at the center of the ground floor. This doorway has moulded reveals and a two-leaf panelled timber door, which is accessed by stone steps and topped with a fanlight and hoodmould. Above, there is a window with a swept-up pyramidal roof that breaks the eaves. The ground floor has three-light canted windows in the bays to the left and right, each covered by piended slate roofs and topped with iron brattishing. To the right, there is a gableted bipartite window on the first floor and an arrowslit opening in the gablehead. The left bay features a gabled section with a bipartite window on the first floor and another arrowslit opening in the gablehead.

The northwest elevation is gabled and includes a lean-to addition at the ground floor. The southeast elevation is also gabled, while the southwest elevation was not visible in 2001.

The villa predominantly features two-pane timber sash and case windows and has a grey slate roof with lead ridges. The gablehead and wallhead stacks are coped and have octagonal cans. The rainwater goods are made of cast iron and include decorative hoppers.

The interior was not seen in 2001. The boundary walls consist of low coped ashlar walls on the northeast side and high rubble walls with brick coping on the other sides.
