1 Lawside Road, Dundee, DD3 6BP

Set behind a handsome stone wall and accessed via timber gates, this exceptional Grade C listed villa occupies a wonderfully private corner plot in one of Dundee’s most established residential areas. With mature gardens on all sides and Dudhope Park just moments away, the setting is both tranquil and convenient, ideal for families, commuters, or anyone looking for a home with character and space in equal measure.

From the outside, the home’s Arts and Crafts roots are clear with its classic roof peaks, leaded windows, and a striking central entrance all hinting at the craftsmanship within. Step through the arched door and you're greeted by a beautifully detailed vestibule, where warm timber, stained glass, and a deep-set window instantly establish a sense of quality. Beyond, the hallway flows through the heart of the home, with original flooring, high ceilings, and rich wood accents setting the tone.

The main lounge is a standout, it’s a stunning space where exposed ceiling beams and rich wood panelling evoke period charm, complemented by a striking fireplace, stained-glass bookcase surrounds, and a cosy inglenook bench beneath the window. To the front of the house, the formal dining room is elegant yet inviting, with decorative plasterwork, a ceiling rose, and a bay window that captures elevated views stretching across the city skyline to the River Tay and North Fife coastline.

At the rear, the kitchen blends charm and practicality, with shaker-style cabinetry in heritage green, solid wood worktops, and a traditional AGA at its centre. Integrated appliances and ample worktop space make it a cook’s delight, while the original maid’s bell system adds a wonderfully quirky nod to the home’s heritage. A garden-view window floods the space with natural light, and a separate utility room, WC, and pantry add further convenience. A conservatory to the side offers a light-filled retreat that connects beautifully to the garden, while a fifth bedroom or study on the ground floor provides welcome flexibility for home working or hosting.

Upstairs, four comfortable double bedrooms provide peaceful and versatile accommodation. Each has its own personality from the striking blue tones of one to the calm, neutral finish of the others—all enhanced by natural light, original timber flooring, and uninterrupted outlooks. The principal bedroom is especially generous, with room for a sitting area or workspace. A recently updated shower room with patterned floor tiles and metro wall tiling completes the upper level with style.

The garden is an extension of the home’s generous spirit. Secluded and full of character, it wraps around the house with mature hedging, fruit trees, and bursts of seasonal planting. A raised timber deck with hot tub creates a brilliant entertaining zone, while gravel paths and seating areas invite you to explore every corner, whether for morning coffee beneath the pergola or summer barbecues near the conservatory. The garage and driveway are discreetly tucked to the side, accessed via gates for added security and ease, and there's also a timber shed for additional storage.

Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated, this unique period home combines historic charm with practical family living offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of Dundee’s architectural heritage in a truly desirable setting.
