Description
Tighndun, located at 2-5 Queen Street in Monifeith, is a Jacobean style gabled villa designed by James MacLaren and dated 1874. The building is two stories high with an attic and features a three-bay rectangular layout, along with service wings at the rear. It is constructed from snecked squared rubble with polished dressings and has a slate roof. The exterior includes square water pipes with decorative brackets and hoppers, and the windows are arranged as two-over-four pane sash and case. All gables are adorned with gablet skews and skewputts, along with some decorative capstones and finials. The chimney stacks are boldly corniced.
On the east elevation, there is a porch added around 1900, featuring banded corner piers, Corinthian pilasters, an entablature, and a door with windows set under a segmental arch. An imposing three-storey stair tower is present, showcasing segmental windows, with the upper window featuring a pedimented dormerhead that breaks through a heavily corbelled parapet. The pyramidal roof has brattishing at the apex and rhones, and there is a shouldered and corniced stack adjacent to the north-facing gable. The lower two-storey, two-bay service wing has pedimented dormerheads, with an apex stack on the north gable.
The south elevation is symmetrical with three bays. The center features a single window with a pediment gablet at the first floor, flanked by canted ground floor windows, and a date stone on the west side. The first floor includes an elaborately corniced and decorated bipartite window on the right, set in a shallow advanced gabled panel. The west bay is slightly advanced and gabled, featuring an aediculed attic window.
On the west elevation, there is a shallow advanced wide gabled bay to the south, with an offset further advanced square tripartite window. The first floor is partly corbelled and has two windows, along with a decorative blind arrow slit in the gable. The apex stack is present, along with a single-storey service wing that has a wallhead gable to the north.
