The Department's description

Historical information

Precise date of building uncertain but it appears to be largely a rebuilding or remodelling of around 1842 of an older property which has traditionally been dated to the 1760s, the original house being variously described as of 1760-3 and of 1769 and built for James Nicholson. Called 'Cranagill' on the OS map of 1834-5.
Previously there were two gate lodges associated with the property, both now demolished.
