Villa, still in use, built in circa 1865. It is a two-storey, three-bay, symmetrical villa, constructed from roughly coursed rubble with contrasting cream ashlar sandstone dressings, with stone mullions, an eaves course, decorative gutter fixtures and gutterheads, coped ashlar end stacks and a grey slate roof. The principal elevation has a tripartite doorway at the centre with a strip fanlight and tripartite windows in the outer bays at the ground floor in rectangular projections. These are linked across the centre bay to create a tripartite loggia with ashlar Doric columns, and with a continuous cornice and blocking course and decorative wrought-iron brattishing. There is a French window to a balcony at the first floor centre with bipartite windows flanking in the outer bays. Blank gable end elevations have ashlar-coped skews with consoled and circular-pedimented skewputts. Stone steps to the terrace in front of the principal elevation has dies mounted by stone urns at the foot. It was built as one of a neighbouring pair with Number 11 (NJ05NW0342). In 1992, a fragment of a Class I Pictish symbol stone was found built into the garden wall (NJ05NW0073).
