Statement of Interest

This is a good example of an unaltered cottage style estate office, retaining its context, located adjacent to a number of estate cottages and stables to the rear of Glenmuick House (formerly Brackley House). The use of rendered infill panels is unusual. Of particular interest is the rustic timber verandah to 3 elevations.
