Carnbooth House, Glasgow

Carnbooth House, located in Glasgow, is a country house built in 1900, showcasing the arts and crafts movement with elements of 17th century Scottish revival design. The house is two storeys high and features a T-shaped layout. Its exterior is finished in white harling, accented with contrasting red ashlar dressings, and topped with broad-eaved red-tiled roofs and crow-stepped gables.

The windows include single and mullioned designs, with some ground floor windows canted and featuring distinctive projecting transoms. The first floor glazing is primarily multi-paned. The main entrance is located on the east front within a gabled range, featuring a near-centre porch that extends to the left as a balustraded projecting window. The entrance includes a round-arched, roll-moulded, and key-blocked renaissance-style doorway with two leaf doors. To the right, there is a recessed lower service range with a roof that slopes down to a single storey, leading to a service court and featuring a green copper conical-roofed angle turret. An advanced bay to the left is designed to resemble a dummy tower house, complete with a parapet enclosing the gable head and a projecting chimney breast. The rooms at both levels include ingle-neuks.

On the south (garden) elevation, there are advanced outer gables, with the left gable featuring bartizans and a two-storey curved window to the right, with a bay corbelled to square above the ground. The house also has corniced end and axial stacks, with a modern extension added to the west.

Inside, the entrance hall boasts a large red ashlar chimney piece and a timber stair aligned with the axis of the ranges, featuring ornamented newel posts and a now-glazed arcade above. Some art nouveau details are present. While some rooms have been subdivided, several retain modest ornamentation, and the rooms with ingle-neuks both showcase elaborate cornice plasterwork.
