Description
Dudhope House, located at 15 Dudhope Terrace in Dundee, is a large two-storey mansion built between 1849 and 1850 by Charles Wilson. It is designed in the 17th century Scots Style and is set within substantial grounds.
The southeast elevation features a two-storey, five-bay façade. On the left, there is an advanced crow-stepped gable with a ground floor canted bay window and a first-floor single-light window topped with a strapworked pediment. Next is a single-light recessed bay with a gablet above. The central advanced gable has architraved single-light windows and a strapworked pediment on the first floor. The steep crow-stepped gable includes large skewputts and corbelled parapets on either side. An advanced porch with a shouldered-arched door and an armorial design is present, along with a piend-roofed conservatory on the right, which was demolished in 1990. Above are single-light architraved windows, and there is a heavily corbelled, gabletted, and gun-looped parapet on the two bays to the right and the return bay of the central gable.
On the east gable, the left bay is advanced with a ground floor canted window and a first-floor single-light window, featuring a heavy corbel course, a blind roll-moulded window, a crow-stepped gable, and a stack. The right bay contains a ground floor window and two first-floor windows with a gablet. The service wing to the north is a one-storey structure with a later mansard roof and three bays. The west gable has a two-storey, three-bay section with an advanced crow-stepped gable on the right and a gablet on the left, along with a lower two-storey, four-bay service wing. There is a modern extension to the west. The north elevation features a service court that has been altered during its conversion to a Nurses Home. The building has slate roofs and tall stacks at the rear. The windows are sash and case, primarily with a four-pane glazing pattern, while the kitchen window on the east gable has lying panes. The 20th-century additions feature small paned windows.
Inside, Dudhope House boasts fine plasterwork and chimneypieces. The boundary walls consist of low ashlar at the front and high rubble-built walls at the sides and rear.
