Place & story
A projecting entrance
Carrick House dates from about 1740. Its long, two-storey front is interrupted by a full-height canted projection containing a limestone doorway with a pediment. The projection sits off centre, leaving three bays on one side and four on the other. The architectural survey suggests it may be a later eighteenth-century addition, rather than part of the original design. [2]
The estate setting
The house was associated with the Fetherston-Haugh family. The inventory identifies a family member there in 1837 and William Fetherston-Haugh in the 1870s, when he held 871 acres locally. Entrance gates and rear outbuildings preserve the relationship between the residence, its approach and the practical buildings of the estate. [2]
