Details Site of a mansion house, built in the 17th century with additions and remodelling in 1740. It is also known as Hedderwick Castle and Hedderwick House. It is shown on the 1st edition OS maps as a U-plan building open to the west, with a rectangular building to the east and a large wooded garden to the south. On the 2nd edition OS map there are four additional outbuildings, and a greenhouse. The main block was three-storey, with two-storey advanced wings. There were swept dormers and roll-moulded openings on the east side of the main block. The 1740 remodelling included a stucco façade to the west elevation, and the openings were given egg and dart architraves and tripartite keystones. There was a central arched panel with an alto-relieve figure of Time in flight (damaged), with a centre brick chimney above and doorways to the left and right. The advanced wings were also added in 1740, forming a symmetrical forecourt, the rear of which was later roofed. At the gable end of the eastern outshot there was a lintel dated and initialled '1S HM 17 40 N'. The garden wall featured gatepiers and a pair of bee-boles. The house was in a ruinous and roofless condition when a photographic record undertaken by the RCAHMS in 1967, at which time painted ceilings were recorded. The listing from 1971 found the remains of fine panelled rooms within the house, and records the house as having deteriorated further since it was surveyed. Current maps show that it has since been replaced by a later building.
