Description
4 Cleveden Drive in Glasgow is a terrace of two-storey villas designed by architect Thomas Smellie of Kilmarnock, built around 1902. The terrace consists of pairs of houses that are symmetrically arranged, with numbers 4 to 8 forming six bays. Numbers 2 and 11 Bellshaugh Road create similar pairs that connect obliquely to the rest of the terrace. Number 10 features a three-bay design with canted windows on either side of the entrance.
Each house in the terrace is three bays wide, two storeys tall, and includes a basement. The exterior is made of rock-faced ashlar stone, with a polished basement and decorative dressings. Windows have roll-moulded reveals on the ground floor. The houses have sash windows, with lower sashes made of plate glass and upper sashes featuring small panes. A continuous cill band is present on the first floor, along with a mutule cornice and slate roofs topped with tall axial stacks.
For houses 2 to 4, steps lead to the entrance, which features a doorpiece with a single sidelight, both framed by lugged roll-moulded architraves and a shared cornice. Flanking the doors are full-height canted windows, with a parapet that breaks through the eaves; otherwise, the windows are mainly bipartite.
Houses 6 to 8 are similarly detailed, but their doorpieces are centrally placed with polished jambs and lugged inner architraves. They also have a consoled cornice with a pierced ashlar parapet, while other details remain consistent with the rest of the terrace.
Number 10 has a doorpiece supported by composite columns and an open segmental pediment with a keystone. The flanking door features full-height canted windows similar to those in other houses.
The flank of number 10 is constructed of coursed rock-faced ashlar, while the flank of 11 Bellshaugh Road connects to 2 Mirrlees Drive. The rear elevations are made of bull-faced red ashlar with polished margins, and there are two-storey service wings with piended roofs at the back of the houses. The terrace is enclosed by a low ashlar wall with matching ashlar gatepiers.
