Full Description
Mansion, its predecessor and designed landscape. Guynd is a classic, two-storey and basement mansion house with a Roman-Doric porch and bow-ended wings, dating to 1817. It is harled with free-stone dressings. Within the designed landscape, to the South of the current mansion is the former house, the Dower House. It is a two-storey building, in harl and slate, and is much altered and extended. It dates from the late 18th - early 19th century. A lintel in the garden wall is dated 1664. To the North of the former house is an associated stable block. The grounds also include a lodge to the North-West, a disused gardener's cottage, a walled garden and, to the north, the Home Farm. The home farm included a U-plan piggery which incorporated a small dovecot in the gable. Also in the grounds is a gazebo, otherwise known as the temple, which is to the East of the present mansion house. It is a small circular ashlar building, with Roman-ionic columns on a podium that is surmounted by a dome, and dated 1853. Also within the designed landscape is Villabank Croft (NO54SE0044) to the North-East, and a cottage (NO54SE0041) to the North. Outwith the designed landscape is a cottage (NO54SE0043) to the North-East, and the new home farm (NO54SE0042) to the North.
