NT 25683 73639 An historic building survey was undertaken, on 21 February 2014, of Adam Bothwell House, which is a Category A listed building located at 3 Advocates Close. This small building is a four-storey six- by three-bay building reported to have been originally constructed in the early 17th century. However, it was heavily renovated in c2000 and very

little of the original character of the building remains. Indeed, the only interesting features left in the building consist of the vaulted roof in the attic level and some decorative cornicing over the central stairwell. The latter is unlikely to be 17th century in date and may possibly be a late 1980s copy of an early cornice.
