Statement of Interest

Privately owned since 1986, this was originally the manse for the nearby Hutton Church - see separate list entry. A photograph said to date from 1872 shows the house being built just to the side (W) of an existing structure (itself no longer in place), thought to have been the original manse, dating from circa 1800. A separate single storey, rubble-built range (converted into 2 private residences) is set to the N of the existing house.
