1 St Edmunds Grove, Milngavie

1 St Edmunds Grove in Milngavie is a 17th century-style villa designed by G M Beattie and John Gibb Morton in 1904. This two-storey building with a basement and a single storey attic features a rectangular plan and is constructed from ashlar and harl with ashlar dressings. The structure includes buttresses, chamfered reveals, and stone transoms and mullions.

The principal elevation showcases a prominent flat-roofed canted stair window that projects at the center. To the left, there is a canted doorpiece in a re-entrant angle, leading to a broad panelled timber door flanked by lights—one single to the left and a bipartite arrangement to the right. This door opens into a small set-back canted bay with a bipartite window and a polygonal roof. To the left, a gabled bay features a recessed first-floor window, while a long single-storey bay to the right has a horizontal five-light window and a single light at the outer right, with a replacement three-light dormer window above.

The south elevation presents a tall gabled section with a door and flanking windows in a broad arch to the left, set in a raised basement. There is a buttress on the outer left and steps leading to higher ground on the right. The ground floor includes a four-light canted window to the right and two small horizontal windows to the left, with a segmental-headed window to the right on the first floor and a small light to the outer left.

On the west elevation, there is a mix of architectural elements, including a single-storey bay to the outer left, a full-height canted window to the right, and a single-storey canted window to the left of center.

The north elevation features a broad single-storey gabled section with horizontally-aligned bays on both the ground and attic floors.

The interior was not seen in 2002. The building has a multi-pane glazing pattern with Art Nouveau style coloured glass in the stair window and in the ground floor left and outer left on the west side, while most other glazing is modern. The roof is covered with fishscale-pattern grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks, ashlar-coped skews, and moulded skewputts. Square-section cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers are also present.

The terrace walls and gatepiers feature a semicircular balustrade with rectangular-plan ashlar piers, a ball-finialled flat-coped terrace wall to the west, and dome-capped circular ashlar gatepiers.
