24 Cleveden Road, Glasgow

24 Cleveden Road in Glasgow is a pair of asymmetrical villas built around 1890, prominently situated on a corner site. Both villas are constructed of finely droved ashlar stone with smooth rusticated quoins and feature glass sash windows. The windows are primarily single light with polished raised margins, or they include single or two-storey projecting canted or square windows topped with cornices and embattled parapets.

No 26 is a two-storey villa with an attic and a distinctive four-storey tower. Its entrance elevation has an irregular three-bay stepped plan, with the central tower rising to an embattled parapet. At the base of the tower, there is a single-storey projecting porch supported by clustered columns, also featuring an embattled parapet. The pointed-arch door has a moulded archivolt and a double-leaf door with a fanlight. To the left, there is an advanced gabled bay with a two-storey projecting canted window and a three-light attic window with a stepped hood mould set in the gable. To the right of the tower, an angled bay contains hood-moulded windows with grotesque label-stops and a large leaded glass window.

The north elevation has five gabled bays, with projecting two-storey windows on the right, all detailed similarly to the main elevation. A band course runs over the ground floor, with a string course above the first floor.

No 24 shares similar architectural details and features a two-storey, three-bay elevation with gabled outer bays and a lower two-storey block to the right. Steps with a balustraded parapet lead to a pointed-arch door with a moulded hood, foliate label stops, and polished pink granite nook shafts. The double-leaf panelled door opens into a vestibule with a good leaded glass door; above the door is a single light sash window. To the right, there is a two-storey projecting canted window, and to the left, a single-storey square projecting window with a hood-moulded bipartite above.

Both villas have steeply pitched slated roofs, tall corniced axial and wallhead stacks with octagonal cans. The rear elevations are stugged ashlar, with No 24 featuring a single-storey canted window with five leaded lights. The properties are enclosed by low coped ashlar boundary walls, which include three pairs of tall square painted ashlar gatepiers topped with ball finials.
