Statement of Interest

An attractive house occupying a prominent position at the heart of Newcastleton Village and making a positive contribution to the streetscape. The village was laid out from 1793 by Henry, 3rd Duke of Buccleuch, to his own plan, as a centre for handloom weaving. The house was purchased by the Castleton School Board for use as the Headmaster's residence in 1898 and was altered by them internally to suit the purpose. It was converted to flats in 1962.
