Glasshaugh House dates back to 1770.
It was re-designed by Archibald Simpsom in 1840.
It was last occupied in the 1950's and is now a gutted shell inside.

I know, that was just the first reason that came to mind to abandon a lovely house like that and let it decay. It puzzles me - it's not such a massive house that it would be unliveable, not fire or WW2 damaged, so why was it suddenly abandoned in the 50s?
 
Nice photos G, I like the one of Ali climbing the staircase.
It's a garden ornament for the house next door.
Lots of these old big houses ended up being stripped or abandoned in the mid-20th century. They were just too costly to maintain or restore in an impoverished time.

My other photos were corrupted, but it is disgusting inside.

It's been on the BAR Register for years!
Alir ALWAYS wanted to go everytime we were up in the area, it's just a few minutes from Ladysbridge....
But we always made excuses and didnt go. But it was a nice sunny day and the 3 of us had an hour to kill before we had to go home and watch X FACTOR so we thought why not go and check it oot :mrgreen:
 
Great photos....

This is a great book with some excellent pictures on the demise of some of the more promenant Scottish Country Houses. It also has a full list of all the houses lost over the 20th Centuary in Scotland.

There is also an English one that I've not bought yet

I knew it, must get to an opticians!

The place looks million times better in Gorecki pics then on the At Risk Reg pics
 
I've driven past it hundreds of times, but never actually seen it in any detail - great to see these pics. My mother was brought up a couple of miles from here, and my uncle works on the farm on which the building lies, so has a strange kinda affinity to me lol.
 
According to 'Scotland's Endangered Houses' (SAVE), the owners of the house "propose to eventually restore it", but as this was published in 1990 it looks rather doubtful. Great shame.
