14, Medway Road

No. 14 Medway Road is a villa, built around 1839 to 1842, and later restored in the 1980s. It is constructed of ashlar with a hipped slate roof. The building is double-depth and square in plan, containing a central hallway.

The villa is two-and-a-half storeys high, and includes an attic and basement, with three first-floor windows. The basement has a moulded string-course with quoins marking the angles. A moulded sill band is present on the first floor, along with a moulded band on the second floor. Wide eaves are supported by scroll brackets, interrupting the cornice. A central Doric porch features two pairs of columns and pilasters, a frieze with triglyphs and metopes. A flight of steps leads to replacement doors with an overlight within a tooled architrave. The ground floor has tripartite windows with 6/6 sashes flanked by 2/2 sashes, sills, and cornices resting on consoles. The first floor has 6/6 sashes throughout; and all windows are set within tooled architraves. The second floor contains small casement windows. The attic has three pedimented dormers, each with a 3/3 sash window. The left return displays 6/6 sashes to both the ground floor and basement, also within tooled architraves. Ground-floor windows on the left return have sills and cornices on consoles.

The interior features a central hallway, an open-well staircase with ornate iron balustrade and a wreathed handrail, and embellished cornices on the ground floor.

The Bayshill Estate was developed in 1837 by a joint stock company, who had purchased the land from the Skillicorne family. By 1843, Henry Davies noted a number of detached villas within the estate, occupied by affluent residents. This was considered a "superb group" that made Bayshill Road an important architectural area. The villa's Classical design, low-hipped roof, and bracketed eaves combine elements of the Italianate style common to many mid-19th century villas.
