Description
Carcant House is a late 19th-century building of Scots Baronial style, originally constructed as a coach house. The building is two and a half storeys high, with a higher tower and a lower one and a half-storey wing. It is constructed of ashlar and has a slated roof. The three-storey tower features a corbie-stepped cap-house. Segmental-headed openings, originally carriage entrances with visible hinges, are located to the left and right of the tower and have been converted into a door and window. The building appears on an Ordnance Survey map of 1853, and was built for Thomas S Adinston of Carcant. A new mansion planned for the site was never built, and the coach house was instead converted for residential use. The Somervilles acquired the property around 1905.
