Breda

Breda, 1894, A Marshall Mackenzie (Mackenzie & Matthews). The rather sawn-off appearance of this baronial edifice derives from the demolition, in 1963, of the original house of Broadhaugh, which lay immediately to the west. Coursed red granite gives gritty texture to front which is dominated by three-storey main block with circular conical-roofed

entrance tower, balanced, just, by diagonally set angle-tower corbelled to square at end of single-storey-and-attic, four-bay wing. Upper windows pedimented above wallhead throughout; all in slightly heavy Scots style.

Breda, 1894, A Marshall Mackenzie (Mackenzie and Matthews). The rather sawn-off appearance of this baronial edifice derives from the demolition in 1963 of the original house of Broadhaugh, which lay immediately to the W. Coursed red granite gives a gritty texture to the front which is dominated by the three-storey main block with circular conical-roofed entrance tower, balanced, just, by a diagonally-set angle-tower corbelled to square at the end of a single-storey-and-attic four-bay wing. Upper windows pedimented above wallhead throughout; all in slightly heavy Scots style.

Possible site of manor, castle or mansion. The building is empty at present.
