Statement of Interest

The Delnadamph Lodge estate of 7667 acres was bought by Her Majesty in 1977. The Lodge was demolished in 1989 because of poor condition, though its service buildings remain. Mains Cottage and Kennels are joined on the list for Delnadamph by Inchmore at a distance to SW. The cottage and Kennels form a good example of provision for sport in the 19th century estate. The cottage is traditional in form, symmetrical in its evolution, well-detailed and supported by the large high quality Kennel blocks as surviving ancillaries.
