Statement of Interest

Former laundry wing sympathetically adapted for new use. With its whitewashed harl and raised margins, the character of this block bears more resemblance to the original Mount Stuart than to Rowand Anderson?s late 19th century structure. It is likely to date from the late 18th century.
