Description

Old House at Mains Of Badenscoth features the remains of an extensive 18th century layout, with the main part of the house demolished in 1939. The structure includes a mid 18th century two-storey east wing designed in an L-shape, which has skewputs and a piend roof. This wing contains a kitchen and a notable late 18th century chimney piece on the first floor, with another chimney piece surviving in the new house. There is also a pyramid-roofed outbuilding that has blue dressings and a fine lintel by James Gordon, which features a crest. The property is accessed through low gatepiers that are capped with balls and feature alternating plain and fluted courses.
