Statement of Interest

Listed, despite alterations, for group value and in consideration of early date of former summer house. Gillespie Scott drawings marked ?Gamekeeper?s Cottage for Mr Balfour 1899? bear marked similarities with this building. Sited within boundary of walled garden (listed separately), part of a dividing wall was demolished to make space for this cottage. Modern windows have sacrificed the depth and profile of original 4 pane timber sash and case.
