Rose House, 16 Constitution Terrace, Dundee

Rose House, located at 16 Constitution Terrace in Dundee, is a large neo-Jacobean villa designed by James Maclaren around 1860, featuring an ashlar stone facade. The building has an L-shaped plan with a south front that includes a curvilinear gable on the right. This side showcases a crenellated four-light canted bay window on the ground floor, a two-light window above with a stepped hoodmould, and an intricately shaped crosslet attic window. There is a square crenellated porch with an ogee-topped octagonal angle pier. Above the porch, a single-light shaped dormerhead window is present, while the left side features a shallow three-light crenellated rectangular bay and a two-light window with a stepped hoodmould in a shaped dormerhead.

The west frontage has a shaped gable on the right, with a canted oriel window adorned with elaborate strapwork and gargoyles above a pair of conch-headed niches. To the left, there are two bays with single-light windows, and on the right, a mullioned and transomed stair window. At the rear, there is a 20th-century extension that has been rendered.

Inside, the villa boasts high-quality plasterwork in the ceilings of the principal rooms. The roof is slate, and the chimneys are chamfered with square shafts. The windows are sash and case, featuring both two and four-pane glazing patterns. The property has low boundary walls at the front and higher walls at the sides and rear, along with a wrought-iron overthrow arch leading to Constitution Street.
