Dating back to1842  this beautiful cottage was designed by the accomplished Scottish architect William Young who also designed Holme Hall for William Wallace MP.

He also wrote several books on architecture and in particular ‘Town & Country Mansions and Suburban Houses’ published in London and New York. William Young was admitted to the FRIBA in 1891. In more recent times the property has been enhanced, improved and extended by the present owners who have thoroughly enjoyed living here for over twenty five years.
