p. 212. “A house of two storeys with a dormered attic, a gabled projection at one end of its front and a curvilinear gable at the other; probably a C19 rebuilding of a C18 house. Seven bay front, plus the gabled projection; window surrounds with blocking. Charming wooden porch, in the Chinese taste. In 1814, the residence of William Duff.”
