(NT 2832 7164) Peffermill (NR)
OS 6" map, (1966)
Peffermill was built c. 1636 (the date on a pediment) by Edward Edgar. It became a farmhouse, and subsequently was divided into small dwellings, but it was restored as a single tenement a few years before 1920. It is L- shaped on plan and 3 storeys and a garret in height. The walls are of harled rubble.
The ONB (1852) states that there are some indications of Peffermill having been surrounded by a ditch or moat.
