Hapland is an excellent example of a late 19th century villa and coach house in Helensburgh. Occupying a large-gardened corner plot, Hapland retains fine, original architectural detailing of Italian inspiration, and characterised by its elegant swept roof, deep bracketed eaves, bowed window and lean-to corner angle entrance porch. Stained glass portrait panels to the drawing room windows, elaborate carved chimney pieces and panelled doors add to the interest.
The coach house was converted to residential accommodation prior to listing with later alterations carried out in 1997.
Statutory address and list description revised, 2012. Previously listed as "13 ABERCROMBY STREET EAST AND 50 CHARLOTTE STREET, HAPLAND WITH BOUNDARY WALLS, GATEPIERS AND FORMER COACH HOUSE".
