Statement of Interest

Standalane House is now one of the principal early houses within Stewarton itself, although the burgh has encroached on its setting and it was originally surrounded by farmland. Dating from around the turn of the eighteenth century, the U-plan created by the flanking ancillary ranges echoes the plan of the distinctive Ayrshire farms and is an important part of the character of the group. The house itself is of some refinement and quality with its principal elevation finished in ashlar. Its early date is evident in the widely spaced bays and windows set close to the eaves. The pigeon loft in the gable of the right-hand wing is a particular feature of this area of Ayrshire.
