Statement of Interest

Brantwood was designed by James Hutton for himself, who died in a drowning accident before living in the house. It is adjoined at the north gable by the slightly earlier 1-3 Station Terrace, listed below, the whole scheme forming the most distinguished part of the fueing plan for Easter Mylnefield drawn up by William Wighton in 1882.
