Description
30 Highburgh Road, along with 28 Highburgh Road, is a building designed by architect David Barclay between 1902 and 1904. It consists of two ranges of six-bay tenements that are symmetrically arranged, with return elevations facing Beaumont Gate. The building is four storeys tall with a basement at the rear, constructed from polished red sandstone that is stugged at the base course.
The tenements at 28-30 and 32-34 Highburgh Road feature terminal and off-centre full-height five-light bow windows. The other windows are either bi-partite or tripartite sash windows, with upper sashes that have small panes or leaded glazing, while the lower sashes contain plate glass. Access is provided by steps leading to double-leaf panelled doors topped with a leaded fanlight, and a curvilinear lintel above the door. The vestibule doors also feature leaded glass. Deep moulded band courses at the cills extend around the bow windows. The building has a modillion cornice, with a plain cornice at Nos 28-30.
The flanks facing Beaumont Gate are detailed similarly, with No 10 having a three-bay design and bow windows flanking the door, while No 13 has a four-bay design with tripartite windows on the extreme left. There is a stugged coped ashlar retaining wall for the garden, with steps that support cast-iron railings. The flanks of Nos 28 and 32 Highburgh Road are made of bull-faced ashlar.
