About Northwood House
Most Dundee office space is in the city centre or on a business park. Northwood House is neither. It's a Victorian mansion in its own grounds on the eastern edge of the city, with private offices in the original rooms, dedicated desks in the garden-facing Morning Room and three meeting rooms for when you need to bring people together. Utilities are included, licences are flexible, parking is free, and it's the kind of address clients remember.
About the area
-
Dundee has spent the last decade reinventing itself. The waterfront regeneration, anchored by V&A Dundee, has given the city a new front door; two universities feed a steady stream of graduates into life sciences, games, design and digital; and the city's compact size means everything, from Ninewells to the airport to the waterfront, is within a short drive. Lower costs than Edinburgh or Glasgow, a city small enough to know people and ambitious enough to be worth knowing — for a business serving Tayside, Fife and Angus, it's the natural centre of gravity.
-
Northwood House sits on Strathern Road, between Dundee and Broughty Ferry. The city centre is around fifteen minutes by car or bus, the A90 is about ten minutes away for Perth, Aberdeen and the motorway network, and Dundee railway station puts Edinburgh and Glasgow roughly ninety minutes away. Broughty Ferry station, a short walk from the house, has regular services into Dundee and up the coast to Arbroath, buses run every ten to fifteen minutes at peak, and Dundee Airport, with its London City connection, is twenty minutes across the city. Limited free parking is available on site, with on-street parking nearby.
-
Dundee's employer base is broader than most cities its size: NHS Tayside and Ninewells, one of the largest teaching hospitals in Europe; the University of Dundee and Abertay University; Dundee City Council; a long-established games and digital cluster; and growing life sciences, renewables and professional services sectors. That mix creates demand for exactly the kind of space Northwood offers: a professional base for consultants, advisers, agencies and small firms who work with those institutions but don't need to sit inside them.
"Northwood House is truly stunning. A historic mansion packed with period features, carefully modernised for Broughty Ferry's business community - a real alternative to traditional leased office space."
