Description
Description
Carron Lodge originates from the late 18th century when it was a two-storey farmhouse. Local architects James Gillespie and James Scott added a single-storey extension in Arts and Crafts style in 1901. The circular entrance porch on the east elevation and the bays and loggia on the west elevation were distinctive features. The interior had high quality timber decorative detailing in three of the main rooms.
The stable block beside the house was built in sandstone rubble with irregular windows and a hayloft. Adjoining the stables are further outbuildings with a stepped roofline. There is a single storey brick and timber shed.
High rubble walls with chamfered openings enclose the garden to the west of the house. The Kinness Burn forms the boundary to the south.
The property was subject to fire damage in 2021. GS Brown, the current owners, have obtained reports on the structure and restoration potential which are available on request. A structural engineering report has recommended under pinning.
Location
Carron Lodge is set in mature gardens and grounds just to the west of St. Andrews. The property is protected by its own woodlands with the gardens running down to the Kinness Burn which forms the southern boundary.
