Fluted Ionic pilasters through ground and first floors surmounted by dentil entablature over first floor. 2nd floor has panelled pilasters. Ground floor windows have pediments on console brackets. Mainly 2/2 horizontal-pane sashes with 3/6 sashes to second floor. Basement has 6/6 sashes. Central Ionic portico with coupled fluted columns and dentil pediment; flight of steps to 6-panel door with overlight and side-lights. Right return has 3 first-floor windows; stucco details include end Ionic pilasters and similar treatment to windows. Similar 2/2 horizontal-pane and 3/6 sashes. INTERIOR: noted as retaining original joinery and plasterwork including panelled shutters to windows. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: left return has balcony to ground floor with ornate scroll motif. Attached railings to right and left with alternate rods and fleurs-de-lys finials. HISTORICAL NOTE: the Bayshill Estate was developed by a joint stock company which purchased land from the Skillicorne family in 1837 which was bankrupt by c1845. Onley bought much Bayshill property including the Royal Old Wells, and so Pevsner suggests that other houses in Bayshill Road were built to his designs. C20 range to rear not included.
