Description
5 Lorraine Road in Glasgow is a terrace of four two-bay houses built around 1900 by architect David Barclay of H & D Barclay. The houses are two storeys high with a basement and are located next to Kensington Gate to the south. They feature polished red ashlar stone with a bull-faced basement.
To the right, there are steps that extend over the basement leading to a doorpiece with a pediment, which includes a square Art Nouveau leaded glass fanlight. The entrance has double-leaf panelled doors with small pedimented sidelights, also featuring leaded glass. Above the door, there is a bipartite window. To the left, a two-storey five-light bow window rises from the basement to a conical roof, with a moulded band-course above the ground floor. Houses 7 and 9 have an oculus window at the ground floor. The windows throughout are sash windows with plate glass glazing. The eaves are adorned with wooden modillions, and the roofs are slate with tiled ridges. The axial stacks are corniced with octagonal cans, and the skews are tiled with skew-putts.
The north flank is constructed of stugged ashlar, featuring a central full-height square oriel window, with a two-light window at the ground floor and a five-light window at both the first and second floors. The rear elevation is also made of stugged ashlar, displaying alternately advanced bays, with all windows being tripartite. The property has a solid polished red ashlar wall at the parapet of the steps and along the basement and boundary walls.
