56 Sardinia Terrace, Cecil Street, Hillhead, Glasgow

14 Sardinia Terrace is a terrace of 24 houses located on Cecil Street in Hillhead, Glasgow, possibly designed by J T Rochead around 1855. The terrace features two different designs, arranged in groups of 10, 9, and 5, with the outer groups being similar. Each house has an entrance bay flanked by canted windows made of ashlar sandstone. The canted windows have roll-moulded arrises, and the principal openings are framed with architraves. The steps leading to the entrances are adorned with gablet coped stone balustrades, some of which still have pyramidal caps or ball finials. The broad tripartite doorpieces include glazed side-lights and fanlights, all set within corniced and architraved surrounds featuring pulvinated friezes. There is a cill band at the first floor.

Houses numbered 14-22 and 44-60 are three-storey with basements. They have single windows above the entrances on the first and second floors, and the canted windows extend from the basement to the first floor, topped with a pierced fretwork parapet. Behind this, there are stone mullioned bipartite windows on the second floor. The eaves course and cornice are also notable features.

Houses numbered 24-42 are gabled, two-storey, with basements and attics. The entrance bays have a single window on the first floor, and there is a diamond-set ashlar stack at the wallhead above, featuring a moulded base. The canted windows in the flanking bays extend from the basement to the first floor, where they are corniced, with an attic window in the gablehead above. The eaves band steps down at the gableheads, and there are decorative features below the wallhead stacks.

The houses have timber sash and case windows with plate glass, featuring 4- and 6-pane glazing patterns, although some have modern replacements. The roofs are covered with grey slates, and there are corniced stacks on the mutual gables with tapering square section cans.

The interiors were not seen as of 2000. In front of the higher numbered houses, there are spearhead iron railings remaining in the run, along with decorative gateposts.
