description
The villa, which dates back to 1850, is at the end of a short spur road from Mugdock Road , which connects Milngavie's city center with the northern residential areas. It is one of the early objects by the British architect John Thomas Rochead , whose best-known work is the Wallace Monument , completed in 1869 . In 1930 an outbuilding was added to the villa. After a complete restoration in 1963, a wood-framed winter garden was added twenty years later.
The two-story villa has an L-shaped floor plan and architectural borrowings from the Tudor style . The building is made of roughly hewn stone. For the edges of the building, as well as for the windows, ashlar smoothed stone was used, which is also used for the decorative ribbons. The individual wings of the building end with slate-covered gable roofs . The gable surfaces are partly worked as a stepped gable . The entrance area is housed in a round corner tower with a staircase that ends with a conical roof . The windows are mostly made of small lattice windows. A quarry stone wall with flat cap stones surrounds the property. Just like the slender goal posts with the steel gate, it is explicitly listed in the monument documents.
