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.
