Railings And Gate, Ewen Burn Including Boundary Walls, 2 Arduthie Road

This is a two-storey, four-bay villa built after 1910. It is situated on Arduthie Road, with a principal elevation facing Evan Street, and features decorative interior details and decoratively-astragalled windows.

The villa is constructed of tooled Aberdeen bond sandstone with polished margins and stugged long and short quoins. A string course separates the floors at the level of the ground floor window cornices, and projecting cills are present. Modillioned cornices adorn the canted windows, and the gables feature full-height four-light, swept roof, canted windows which are reduced in size on the first floor.

The south (Evan Street) elevation has a lean-to, slate-roofed verandah with decorative timber balusters and arch braces spanning three recessed bays on the left. This section includes a nine-panelled timber door with a fanlight inscribed "EWEN BURN" at the outer left, and two smaller windows to the right. A further window is centrally positioned on the first floor; all windows are decoratively-astragalled. An advanced, finialled gabled bay sits on the right, featuring a full-height four-part canted window which is reduced on the first floor.

The west (Arduthie Road) elevation has a two-bay arrangement, with an advanced gable on the left, mirroring the design of the south elevation. A set-back bay to the right incorporates a small, decoratively-astragalled window with an ogival carving to the lintel at ground floor level, and a further window on the first floor.

Internally, the villa retains a good decorative scheme, with moulded cornices, architraved, panelled timber doors, deep skirtings, and original floor boards. A timber-panelled vestibule has an encaustic-tiled floor and a fine screen door with a segmentally-astragalled panel incorporating decorative scrollwork in the centre, along with two adjacent and top lights, all decorative. The stairhall contains a panelled timber staircase (potentially later). The windows are primarily a mix of small-pane glazing in the upper sashes over plate glass lower sashes, with some lozenge-pattern glazing.

The roof is covered with grey slates, featuring decorative terracotta ridge tiles and finials. The corniced and coped ashlar stacks have some cans. Plain bargeboarding with overhanging eaves and exposed rafter ends is also visible, along with some secondary glazing.

The property is enclosed by low, saddleback-coped, rubble boundary walls containing inset ironwork railings and a gate.
