Statement of Interest

The stable block, sited just to the SW of Dinnet House, is a little altered survival retaining significant presence in its group with the house. The Walled Garden, North Lodge, and East Lodge and Gates are also separately listed. George Bennet Mitchell carried out alterations to both Dinnet House and estate buildings in the earlier 20th century, possibly undertaking the garage conversion at that time.
