If you’ve ever dreamed of living in a fine classical property, then 10 Woodcot Court in Stonehaven offers just that opportunity.
This elegant building was designed by William Henderson and completed in 1867 and enjoys a splendid setting on an elevated position at the edge of Dunnottar Woods.
Anyone looking for a characterful period property steeped in history may be interested to know something about the story of this B-Listed building.
Originally built as the Kincardineshire Combination Poorhouse, the British Listed Buildings inventory notes that it followed a standard H-plan but is unusual in its choice of classical style.
The entry in British Listed Buildings states: “The fine proportions, simplicity and massing of this elegant classical building remain an eye-catching feature in the Walker’s Bridge area.”
It became the Woodcot Hospital for care of the elderly in 1948 and closed exactly half a century later in 1998.
