Description
7 Southpark Terrace in Glasgow is a three-storey and basement townhouse built in 1862, featuring a 42-bay design with Renaissance details. The building has a symmetrical arrangement of bays in a pattern of 6-12-6-12-6, with the end and central bays raised and advanced. It is constructed of polished ashlar stone, with a droved finish at the basement and channelled detailing at the ground floor. The design includes a ground floor band and cornice courses, a cill course at the first floor, a cornice, and parapets on the pavilion blocks.
Each entrance is located at the top of steps that oversail the basement area and features a recessed architrave. The ground floor has a cornice band, while the first floor includes a corbelled cill band with projecting cills in the advanced bays. The windows are architraved, consoled, and corniced, adorned with a disc frieze. The second floor has plain windows set in recessed margins. The northern return bays repeat the main detailing, with a central narrow arched window that is blocked. The southern return bays mirror the northern ones but have blind windows in the second bay at both the ground and first floors, as well as in the third bay. The rear elevation is made of stugged ashlar, featuring a single later canted bay.
The building has plate glass timber sash and case windows and grey slate roofs with mutual stacks.
Inside, as seen in No. 11 during a visit in 2010, the original layout remains intact. It boasts elaborate decorative plasterwork, including cornices, ceiling roses, and corbels in the main spaces. The staircase features cast-iron balusters and a timber handrail, while the former dining and drawing rooms have painted stone fireplaces, possibly marble. There are also timber panelled doors and shutters.
The property is enclosed by decorative cast iron railings atop a low ashlar coping at the street and entrance steps, with rear and mutual boundary walls made of rubble.
