Description
Dun Esk is a house that has been converted into a retirement home, built in the mid-19th century. It features painted stucco with painted stone detailing and a slate roof with rendered stacks at the valleys. The building has an L-plan layout, with the main double-depth block on the left and a set-back wing on the right, which includes a gabled porch at the angle. It is designed in a domestic Tudor style.
The exterior is two storeys high and has a three-window range. The front and gable ends have coped parapets with finials and pendants. There is a continuous hoodmould above the first floor, and a string course at the ground floor that has pendants forming hoods over ornately-leaded casement windows. The right wing is lower and features two forward-facing gables with two-light ornately-leaded casement windows—one on the left gable and two on the right. The interior has not been inspected.
