Statement of Interest

B Group with stables, gatepiers and boundary walls (see separate listings). Once the old manor house of the Sheuchan estate. The authors of HISTORIC STRANRAER suggest the house is 17th century in origin, and was refurbished in the 18th century, when it became the dower house of the Agnews of Lochnaw. The stables and gateposts reflect its status as a country residence of distinction.
