Bay to R with large 5-light bay windows to ground and 1st floors; crenellated parapet with conical, octagonal slated roof; lead finial. Central timber panelled 2-leaf outer door; letterbox fanlight; window to 1st floor. Battered base course; moulded string course above bay windows; moulded eaves course. Bull-faced coursed sandstone; polished ashlar margins.

Drawing room: decorative plaster ceiling with roundels and strapwork, elaborate rose and foliate motif with '1898 JF 1899'; exposed pine panelled doors with brass fittings; panelled dado; pine chimneypiece (later hearth); lightfitting possibly original.

Statement of Special Interest

The villa is prominently sited on elevated ground outside the main town centre area of Beith. From map evidence this, the neighbouring villa and the pair of semi-detached villas were built between 1897 and 1910; these were possibly all built by John Fulton, a local builder. No 12 Glebe Road stands out from the others however with its well-detailed elevation and bold bay windows. It is thought that Fulton built the house for himself (his initials and the date of building are on the drawing room ceiling). The original glazing is of note and should be preserved to maintain the character of the building. The interior is well-preserved and displays a mix of historicist decorative styles popular at the time.

About Listed Buildings

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
