Statement of Interest

The battering of architraves and gatepiers gives a Greek classical severity to the design. It latterly served as the National Bank, now as a nursery and offices. The RCAHMS Inventory describes an 18th century cartouche attached to an outbuilding. This is no longer visible, possibly obscured by the modern extension or possibly moved elsewhere. Sauchie House is a substantial classical villa which retains its position of dignity through to the rear of the later housing lining Baker Street's roadside redevelopment.
