Linton, Stewart Road, Paisley

Linton is a two-storey, three-bay Arts and Crafts villa built around 1905, possibly designed by J Craig Barr and Cook. The building is in an L-shape and features a corner tower. The first floor is tile-hung above the cill course, while the ground floor is harled with sandstone ashlar dressings. There is a stone cill course and stone mullions.

On the south elevation, the central ground floor has a French window, with a small horizontal four-light window above it that abuts the eaves. To the right, there is a bay with a slightly advanced four-part window, leading to a small mock half-timbered gable with a canted oriel. The left side features a bipartite window, and the outer left has the angle tower.

The southwest tower has a corniced canted tripartite window at the ground level, which is corbelled to a rounded shape at the first floor, featuring three small windows and a squat swept conical roof.

The west elevation presents an irregular gabled facade with the angle tower on the outer right. There is a full-height chimney breast in the center, which skews low over a small first-floor window and a porch on the outer left.

On the north elevation, there is a recessed face to the right with a large integral porch under a swept roof. The door is located on the return to the right, with two small windows to the left below a tile-hung gabled first floor that includes a decoratively-astragalled stair window. There is a small catslide-roofed dormer in the re-entrant to the right and a narrow two-storey bay to the left with a small window close to the eaves. An asymmetrically-fenestrated gable projects to the outer left.

The east elevation is harled and features a variety of elements, including a gabled bay on the left.

The interior was not inspected in 2001. There is also a flat-coped brick terrace wall with stone steps.
