Summary

Description
English: Gundimore is a grade II listed building in Christchurch, Dorset, built in 1796 for the poet William Rose. The building is of the most unusual design, said to have been built in the shape of a Turkish tent, complete with gilt arabic inscriptions to remind the original owner of his travels in the east. It consisted of a centre section and 2 wings. The centre section has 5 windows with a large curved centre bay with a shallow pitched, conical roof. At the south west corner of this bay is a round, 2 storey turret, shaped like a squat house with the upper storey almost completely glazed. The north eastern wing is now Scott's Cottage. Rose is believed to have designed at least part of the house himself.
