Dundas Place

Dundas Place, formerly known as Chapel Cottage, is a house that dates from the 17th or 18th century, with later alterations and additions. It is timber framed and rough rendered, topped with red plain tiled roofs. The building features off-centre right and rear crosswing chimney stacks and has one storey with attics. There is a gabled crosswing to the right, two flat-headed dormers on the left range, and three two-light casements on the gable. The ground floor has two vari-light casements arranged in a 2:1 pattern, and there is a door at the rear. In 1796, the house was occupied by William Merchant, a thatcher, as noted in F.H. Erith's "Ardleigh in 1796," published in 1978.
