Dungeith, 1 Panmure Place, Montrose

Dungeith is a large house of 1925, designed by Thoms and Wilkie of Dundee, built in an asymmetrical style incorporating details reminiscent of 17th-century Scottish architecture. The front (east) elevation is constructed of bull-faced sandstone, with harled side and rear elevations, and ashlar dressings. A battered base course runs around the building.

The main east elevation features a central bay with a two-step approach to a recessed entrance door, framed by an architraved surround bearing the date 1925 in a decorative panel. A window is located to the right of the entrance, and at first floor level, a dormer window breaks the eaves with a pediment. To the left is a large bay window at ground floor with stone mullioned tripartite windows; above this are two windows at first floor, also breaking the eaves with pedimented dormer heads. The corners of the building are chamfered at ground level and corbelled to form square corners at first floor.

The north elevation shows a gable end to the left and the eastern wing to the right, with a recessed door and smaller window. The west elevation consists of two gable ends separated by a narrow flat-roofed section. A canted bay window is present on the ground floor of the left-hand gable, topped with a piended roof, and there are two windows at first floor. The gabled bay to the right has one ground floor window and two first floor windows, the right-hand one being smaller. A single-story wing extends to the west to the right, featuring stone mullioned windows and a door on its west face, and windows on its north face; its south face is blank.

The south elevation includes windows on the return of the single-story wing, and a stone-mullioned window and door on the right.

The original timber sash and case windows are mostly 18-pane at ground floor on the front, 12-pane at first floor and to the rear, and 6-pane in the single-story wing. The roofs are covered with graded grey slate, with crowstepped gables on the northeast and southeast corners. Ashlar chimney stacks are present, including a tall stack topped with a weather vane on the northwest, and stacks rising from the eaves on the west.

The interior of the house was not inspected in 1998.

A contemporary garage, constructed with harled walls and a pagoda roof, is located to the rear. It features splayed buttress corners, double timber doors with multi-pane glazing, and a wrought-iron weather-vane finial.

Low coped ashlar boundary walls run along the front (east) elevation, with circular gatepiers and wrought-iron gates at the central entrance and driveway. Rubble stone walls enclose the north and west sides and the rear of the property.
