Summary
This red brick farmhouse was built in 1860-5 for the 8th Marquis of Lothian in an Elizabethan Revival style. The porch tower has a half-timbered upper storey. The lavish interior has many unusual features including a marble chimney piece with Greek decoration as well as a very bold staircase that was of radical style for the time. Pleasingly there have been very few recent alterations to this impressive abode.
