Statement of Interest

Property of Strathmore Estates (Holding) Ltd. There is some evidence that this was originally a U-plan building with a small courtyard to rear, subsequently infilled. Nether Hayston (listed separately), another estate house of closely related design seems to have undergone similar alterations. The stone fireplace is thought to have been imported, possibly from the Castle.
