Dalzell House

Dalzell House is a historic fortified house in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, Scotland, with a 15th-century tower house at its core and substantial 17th- and 19th-century additions. The building was remodelled in the mid-19th century by R. W. Billings and retains Jacobean interior detailing; in the 1980s it was restored and converted into private apartments. The surrounding Dalzell estate lies on the north bank of the River Clyde and is managed as designed grounds.

As it stood in 1888

The shape it held in its prime.

A broad, asymmetrical sandstone house combining a squat 15th-century tower core with later gabled ranges and two prominent round corner turrets topped by conical slate roofs. A low crenellated ashlar curtain wall and arched entrance define the forecourt; the central block shows a warm red sandstone face with a stepped gable and tall, rectangular mullioned windows. Multiple tall stone chimneys and crow-stepped gables punctuate a complex roofline, set within mature planted grounds on the north bank of the River Clyde.
