Formerly the Home Farm to Roshven House (listed separately). The fineness of certain aspects of the design (notably the rounded gableheads, Baronial tower, corbelled corner) suggest the involvement of an architect, possibly such as David Bryce, known to be working at Roshven House about this date, with similarly Baronial input. However, the artistic hand of Jemima Blackburn, resident at Roshven House about this date, has also been suggested as an influence on the design.
