24 Lanark Road, Rosebank

24 Lanark Road, Rosebank is a 2-storey, 10-bay near-symmetrical English Tudor gabled terrace of houses designed by Alexander Cullen in 1900, with later alterations. The building sits on raised ground that rises further towards the southeast (rear).

The exterior is harled with red sandstone dressings and applied timber framing at first-floor level. A base course runs along the ground, with moulded cills at ground floor. Bracketed tiled canopies project over paired doorways, and the building features overhanging eaves with exposed rafters. Windows at ground level are recessed and canted, while those at first floor are 3-light openings.

The principal (northwest) elevation comprises 9 bays, grouped 1-1-2-1-2-1-1. Stone flights lead to paired replacement boarded doors with rectangular fanlights at the centre, above which rises a wallhead dormer breaking the eaves and set to the right at first-floor level. A 2-bay gabled group to the right contains a window in each bay at both floors, topped with a finial. To the left of centre stands another 2-bay gabled group similarly fenestrated. Paired boarded doors appear in the penultimate-right bay, accompanied by a wallhead dormer set to the left. The outer left bay holds a 4-light square angle bay window serving number 28, with a window at ground and a gable-breaking window at first floor above.

The southeast (rear) elevation is irregularly fenestrated at ground level, with tripartite windows to the main gables at first floor. A harled addition extends to the outer right (rear of number 28). The southwest (side) elevation is a 2-bay gabled wall, irregularly fenestrated, with a stone flight of steps leading to an architraved replacement boarded door with rectangular fanlight in the bay left of centre, flanked by a window beneath a bracketed tiled canopy. The northeast (side) elevation is a blank gabled wall.

Glazing is predominantly leaded lattice with some uPVC replacements. The rear features predominantly small-pane timber sash-and-case windows. The roof is red tile with red clay ridge; red tiles cover the door canopies, while grey slate covers the rear. Harled and coped multi-flue ridge stacks are evenly disposed. Cast-iron rainwater goods complete the exterior detailing.

The interior was not inspected as of 1997.

The boundary wall comprises sandstone rubble with flat ashlar cope; replacement wrought-iron railings front number 28.

This building forms part of a group listing (with 1 and 3 Lanark Road, 21 Lanark Road, and the Popinjay Hotel) and was upgraded to Category B on 7 May 1993. Positioned directly opposite the Popinjay Hotel, also designed by Cullen in 1900, the ensemble imparts Rosebank's centre with a strong sense of stylistic unity through bold massing of Tudor gables. Cullen also worked in nearby Larkhall, where he designed the Church Hall for St Machan's Church with Oriental and Art Nouveau details—a marked contrast to the Tudor idiom employed here.
