Statement of Interest

An unusual style in its Scottish context but relatively common within the confines of Mount Stuart (see separate list entries for East Lodge, Old School House, Kerrylamont Cottage and Kerrycroy Village). Here, note the high quality brick work, the corbelled eaves, corniced stacks and leaded casements
