Full Description
House at ND 3315 4526. Harled model farmhouse of two storeys and three bays, built c1800 for the then tenant, Captain Brodie. The flanking piend-roofed wings are probably early additions, as are the endearingly inept Tudor hoodmoulds. c1840 a big extension was added at the back, its central feature a porch projecting from below a large stair window, the detail Tudorish Gothick. The front porch probably came a little later, perhaps at the same time as the east wing's wallhead was lowered and it acquired a battlemented parapet. Plain late C19 addition.
