18 Westbourne Gardens North, Glasgow

4 Westbourne Gardens North in Glasgow is an astylar terrace of houses built around 1872, featuring a gentle curve to the east. The terrace consists of two storeys, attics, and a basement, with three-storey pavilions at Nos 1 and 12, both having three bays, and No 18, which has four bays. The other houses typically have four-bay elevations, except for Nos 16 and 17, which have five bays.

The exterior is finished in polished ashlar, with channeling at the ground level above the cill. Some areas are partly painted or have been cleaned. The ground floor windows have rounded reveals, while the first-floor windows are framed in architraves with bracketed cills. There are steps leading up to double-leaf panelled doors set within flat architraves topped with a consoled cornice. The windows are sash style with plate glass glazing. A band course runs above the ground floor, and there is a string course at the first-floor lintels. The eaves feature a cornice, and there is a die-and-balustrade parapet.

A two-storey range has four-bay elevations, with a single window to the left of the door and two windows to the right. On the first floor to the right, a canted oriel window is supported by ashlar brackets and has a dentil cornice. The roofs are slate, with tall corniced axial stacks and mostly canted piended dormers, along with some modern dormers.

Nos 16 and 17 are two-storey houses with five bays and curved elevations. Nos 1 and 12 are three-bay houses that share similar detailing but have variations in the arrangement of doors and windows. No 18 features a four-bay curved elevation that is canted at the eastern angle, with two doors in the left bays and a full-height canted window on the extreme right that encloses the angle and returns to a droved ashlar flank.

There are good cast-iron railings leading to the steps and basement at Nos 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, and 17.

To the west, No 2A Westbourne Gardens is a three-storey, three-bay building in polished ashlar, which has extensive rear additions designed by David Barclay in 1905. These include a porch with pilastered angles and a balustraded parapet, as well as a Doric columned screen featuring a segmental over arch with an elaborate wrought iron fanlight. To the left, there is a music room with a nearly full-width square projecting window that has six mullioned and transomed lights. The rear of this building features a rendered piended roof billiard room that is top-lit with two small leaded lights facing north.
