Large late 19th century villa. It has a mix of two and three storeys. The main entrance is in a large, flat roofed porch on the east elevation. To the front, it has six sections, of which three are gabled. Two sets of balustraded steps run down to the large lawn.
Prior to 1930 Panmure Villa was owned by James Smieton who ran the Panmure Works in Carnoustie, est 1857, who had a reputation for providing facilities for his workers, including a Literary Institute. The site was purchased by the Trustees of Lord Armitstead for utilisation as a convalescent home for children in 1930. The building was extended by Thoms & Wilkie architects and opened as Armitstead Convalescent Home for Children in 1932. In 1948 the unit became a children's home, Armitstead Children's Hospital.
