McEwan Fraser Legal is delighted to present this outstanding two-bedroom apartment within a Grade B listed, converted Georgian mansion. Set back, on an exclusive 4.5 acre plot and rarely available, Midfield House is a highly sought after historic site. Originally built in the 18th century, Midfield House became the home of local coal-baron James A. Hood (1859-1941). Following a devastating fire in 1912, the celebrated Scottish architect Sir Robert Lormier, reconstructed the property 1914-1918. Retaining the classic Georgian style, Lorimer tastefully improved the south-facing aspect with the Italianate grandeur of a distinctive loggia and water feature.

For a long time, Midfield House was a children’s home before being converted into popular period apartments in the late 1980s. Inside, the property comprises of: Entrance through th
