Ingleside, 310 Broughty Ferry Road, Dundee

Ingleside is an early 19th century villa, built in the style of David Neave. It is a rectangular, two-storey and basement structure, with classical detailing. The villa is constructed of buff sandstone; ashlar at the south elevation, tooled coursed stone at the sides, and coursed rubble at the rear. The dressings are margined and droved, and the roof is covered in grey slate. A band course runs along the first floor of the south elevation, with moulded detailing in the centre bay, alongside cornices and a blocking course; wallhead courses are present elsewhere. The ground floor south elevation features moulded, shoulder-architraved windows with channelled margins; the first floor windows have margined reveals, and all feature plate-glass sash and case glazing. The end stacks are moulded and linked, with square sections and retain their original decorative cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods and a piended roof complete the exterior.

The south elevation has a modern wrought-iron porch with a flat, corniced timber roof and steps, leading to a tripartite doorpiece with Doric columns and an original 22-panelled door with a fanlight. Wide bays are slightly advanced from the main elevation on both the left and right sides, with basement lintels and windows at ground floor level, and three windows on the first floor.

The east elevation has a window at both ground and first floor levels, with a more recent, horizontal window at ground floor right, and a blocked window at first floor level. The west elevation showcases a lean-to conservatory on the left, with a window at both ground and first floor levels, and a blocked window to the left.

The north elevation includes a later, single-storey, piended roof block in the centre, with a door and various windows; a blocked door is present on the main house to the left, and three windows on the first floor. A fixed-paned stair window is centrally located, with leaded glass to the left and a six-pane bottom sash with a louvred top to the right.

The interior retains good decorative plaster cornices on both the ground and first floors, and features a panelled hall. Original chimneypieces have been removed. The interior front door grille and staircase balusters continue the ‘wheatear’ motif, and this motif is also visible in the glass of the stair window.

The gatepiers are pyramidal-capped, chamfered ashlar structures. Rubble boundary walls are present on the north, west, and partially on the east sides. The south boundary has coped tooled coursers with wrought-iron railings, continuing the ‘wheatear’ motif albeit in an abstract, Art Nouveau style. A drive paved with pink and grey setts is present, with the name ‘Ingleside’ set into the pavement between the gatepiers.
