Hey visited here, absolutely stunning building. Wasn’t as hard to gain access as we expected. Sad to see how damaged this place is now. Hope you enjoy the pics and there aren’t too many.
Thanks

History-

In 1833 this grand house was built for a large family (The Allasons), in 1968 it became a school for rural students of the area and in 2015 it became fully abandoned.
The house was built around 1833, it was designed by James Ingram of Kilmarnock for a Mr James Allason however the house has been extended over the years, not much is known about Mr Allason except that he ranked highly in the military and had some involvement in politics.
The estate was then bought by the County Council and opened as a secondary school in 1952. The school took in boarding students as well as day pupils from 1968 until its closure in June 1973.
The house was bought by a Chinese man in 2014 but he died suddenly from a brain tumour back in August 2015, the result of this was that the plans to renovate the building into a Chinese language and cultural centre were held up, all work stopped at the building back in 2015 and it has been left derelict ever since.

Thats lovely. Even trashed, there are beautiful bits left. Lovely details from arch windows, to door frames, Iron work on stairs, and architrave ceiling. Lots of decay & peel. Quite like this. But its a shame such a huge intricate building has been left to rot!
