Howden House, c.1770
Lying at the top of the brow overlooking the 33 acres of parkland, this lovely, harled, substantial mansion with flanking wings, margined windows, enormous chimneystacks and a Doric porch, contains parts of an earlier tower inside. Now in private hands and awaiting conversion, by EMA, 2007, to either residential or business use with flats to the rear. The walled garden remains as an oasis. The stable block now forms the Howden Park Centre; extended with hall, theatre, studios and dining room, 1970, by Livingston Development Corporation Architects. Now about to enjoy new life as a theatre complex to designs by Nicoll Russell Studios, 2006.
