Full Description
Mansion house built on the site of a possible manor. The house dates to circa 1840 or 1845 and is a 2-storey building. It is harled with grey granite margins and an eaves belt course. The south front is 3-window, with the centre bay advanced. The east front is 5-window (several dummies) with the centre bay advanced, and two wall head chimneys. It has a broad-eaved piended roof, with gablets over the centre bays. The interior is simple, with a little decorative plasterwork, a fine marble chimneypiece (dating to circa 1805), and an excellent sculptured panel in the drawing-room. The banisters were from Brucklay Castle. There is a date panel inscribed 1711 with the initials A W S J S, presumed to be from a previous house, at the rear.
