| Details |
Mansion house, built on the site of an earlier house. The current house is a U-plan building with courtyard open to the south. The surviving east and west wings are probably 16th Century in date but have been altered. The east wing has an inscription 'ALCD 1741' on the door and ALCD at the skewputt. The west wing has an inscription 1787. There are conical roofed towers on the southwest and southeast. The north side of the court was probably occupied by the house built in 1595 and destroyed in 1644. The present north part of house was built in 1900, and is a 2-storey and 3-storey building with cape-house tower in the manner of Sydney Mitchell. This replaced a plain 2-storey 3-window central portion of 1785. There is a baluster table sundial (NJ41SW0211) in the forecourt, and an extensive formal 18th Century walled garden to the south (NJ41SW0075). On the west side of the house is a game larder. During the Second World War Glenkindie House was a base and living quarters for groups of the Timber Corps. See also NJ41SW0173 for designed landscape.
