Description

64 Rubislaw Den South is a villa built in 1901 by Robert Gordon Wilson. It is a two-storey and attic, near-square building with a service wing to the rear. The main facade (south elevation) is asymmetrical, featuring widely spaced tripartite windows and a pedimented dormer with an oval window. The windows on the ground floor are a rectangular-plan tripartite window projecting forward, and a tripartite window to the right. The first floor has a pair of tripartite windows above, and the attic a dormer with timber scrolls.

The east elevation has a central gablet and a pair of windows off-centre to the right on both the ground and first floors. A two-storey wing extends to the outer right. The north elevation is also asymmetrical, with a gabled wing projecting to the left, a three-light canted window with a piended roof, and a rectangular dormer and skylight to the attic.

The west (entrance) elevation is asymmetrical, with a central gablet and a flat-roofed porch. The porch has a deeply chamfered round-arched doorway with banded rustication and a keystone, a panelled timber door, and a timber fanlight. A Venetian stair window sits above the doorway, and a small window is present on the ground floor to the right.

The construction is primarily of tooled grey granite ashlar with finely finished margins on the south side, and Aberdeen bond granite elsewhere. A rough-faced dark grey granite base course, ground and first floor cill courses, dividing and eaves courses are also present.

The windows are predominantly small-pane timber sash and case, although some have been replaced with PVCu. The roof is grey slate with lead ridges, and features corniced gablehead stacks and stacks breaking the roof pitch with circular cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods are in place.

The interior features a fine oak-panelled hallway with a recessed timber seat under a segmental-arch staircase. Panelled timber doors with decorative architraves, original mouldings, and some fireplaces are also present.

The property is approached by square-plan, rough-faced granite gatepiers to the south, with a spherical finial on the left and a pyramidal cap on the right. A low, stepped granite wall runs between the gatepiers, with granite and brick coped rubble walls forming the remainder of the boundary.
