Statement of Interest

Allanton estate cottage dating from the Stewarts of Allanton improvement programme of the early nineteenth century. The unfinished edge to the east end suggest it was intended to have been the start of a terrace. 2 Allanton Road is at present the best preserved cottage in Bonkle, most others having been altered and extended to the rear. Shows the same features as other estate cottages in Bonkle such as bipartite windows and stone penticed canopies.
