Statement of Interest

An unusual style in its Scottish context but relatively common within the confines of Mount Stuart (see separate list entries for Kerrylamont Cottage, Old School House and Kerrycroy Village). Here, note the leaded glazing, arcaded verandah, the half-timbering and terracotta ridge-tiling.
