Statement of Interest

Gabled style with barge boarding and bracket form and

polygonal stacks occurs also at farm cottages at Castlemains,

Dirleton and Fenton Barns, listed separately, and at Sheriff

Hall's West Gate Lodge and Leuchie Lodge. Possibly developed

from a pattern book, or the trademark of a local

architect-builder. Possibly taken from J C Loudon's "Cottage,

Farm and Villa Architecture" which contains similar designs.

Steading lies to N and cottages to NE, (listed separately).
