Description

Charter House, located at 2 Troqueer Road in Dumfries, was likely built around 1810 as a charter house for the burgh of Maxwelltown. This single-storey, three-bay villa-type house features an attic and a basement.

The exterior is finished in painted ashlar, with steps leading down to a central recessed door that has a fanlight above it. The outer bays contain plate glass sash windows, and the building has moulded eaves, two piended canted dormers, straight skews, and corniced end stacks, all topped with a slate roof.

Charter House is set behind a low, painted ashlar wall with an iron fence. The wall has square terminal piers, with the left pier being rusticated and the right pier having been rebuilt.
