5 Hughenden Terrace, Glasgow

4 Hughenden Terrace in Glasgow is a terrace of three houses designed by architects H and D Barclay around 1881. The buildings are two storeys high with an attic and basement, featuring polished ashlar stonework that has been partly cleaned.

Each house has steps that extend over the basement, leading to a fluted Ionic balustraded entrance with recessed double-leaf panelled doors. The vestibule doors are tripartite, with glazed side lights and fanlights. To the sides of the entrance, there are single-storey projecting windows; the window on the right is square, while the one on the left is canted. The first-floor windows are architraved and mullioned, with the outer windows being tripartite and the central window bipartite. All windows are sash with plate glass glazing. There is a continuous cornice above the ground floor and a lintel string at the first floor. The eaves cornice is plain, and there is a deep plain parapet. The dormers on the roof are bipartite and alternate between round-headed and piended shapes, with modern box dormers added at Nos 1 and 2. The roofs are slate mansard, featuring corniced axial stacks and plain skews at the party walls. The rear elevations are made of coursed ashlar and display various dormer shapes.

Inside, there is a Corinthian column screen leading to the hall, with a wood-panelled dado and decorative plaster moulding above. Notable features include well-crafted timber door cases, particularly in No 4, and impressive chimney pieces, along with elaborate plasterwork cornices and ceiling roses in the main rooms.

At the front, there is a coped ashlar retaining wall for the steps and front gardens, which are marked by square incised ashlar piers that define the boundary walls. At the rear of the terrace, there are stugged ashlar boundary walls and mews cottages located at Nos 5 and 6 Montague Lane. These cottages are single-storey and attic structures made of stugged ashlar, with No 6 having been modernised and altered. Both cottages feature corniced axial and wallhead stacks.
