Maxieburn, 22 Bath Street, Stonehaven

Maxieburn is a two-storey, three-bay house built in 1895, with a conservatory added in the 1990s. It is an example of Free Style architecture, designed to imitate a half-timbered building. The exterior is constructed from stugged, squared, and snecked Aberdeen bond rubble, with dressings and quoin strips in stugged and polished ashlar. It features a part base course, a jettied first floor, and a timber cill course. Stone mullions are present throughout.

The principal, or south, elevation has a prominent gabled section to the right, with a canted window at ground level and a projecting four-light rectangular window above. A set-back bay in the centre contains a panelled timber door with a fanlight and a small, decoratively-astragalled window; this gives way to a first-floor balcony supported on braced timber brackets. A further panelled timber door is offset to the left, and a small, altered dormer window with a tiny pediment sits above. To the left of centre is a full-height canted window extending into a finialled polygonal roof, also balanced by a balcony.

The east elevation is dominated by a central gabled bay with a bipartite window at ground level, leading to a corbelled canted oriel window above. A canted inglenook projection is on the left at ground level, incorporating small, decoratively-astragalled lights to the outer faces, and a single window at first floor. A lower service wing to the right has a lean-to timber and corrugated-iron projection and a dormer window breaking the eaves.

The west elevation displays a variety of altered features including a bracketed tripartite oriel window in a first floor gable and a large conservatory extension at ground level.

The north elevation features a low, two-storey bay, with two closely-aligned windows at ground level and a bipartite stair window above. A gable with a later projection at ground level is on the outer right, while a narrow set-back bay has a window to each floor. A service wing projects at the outer left.

The main door and adjacent window on the south elevation, and the stair window on the north, have leaded coloured glass. The inglenook features a decoratively-astragalled glazing pattern. Most other windows have multi-pane glazing within timber sash and case frames, although some have plate glass and small-pane top-opening windows to the rear. Rosemary tiles were installed on the south elevation in 2003. Coped ashlar stacks, some ribbed, are topped with cans, decorative terracotta ridge tiles, and finials. The eaves overhang with plain bargeboarding.

Inside, original moulded cornices are present, as are architraved, horizontally-panelled doors, some with decorative doorheads and coloured leaded glass. A tiled vestibule features a fine screen door with flanking lights and a leaded coloured glass fanlight. A dog-leg staircase has timber balusters and square newel posts. The inglenook fireplace has a pilastered timber surround and tiling.

Low, saddleback-coped rubble boundary walls with decorative cast-iron gates enclose the property.
