The brothers each built a tower and it is believed one of them was built at Stroquhan as the property was owned in 1615 by a John Kirkhoe. The original house, a simple two storey building, was built in the second half of the 18th century on the site of the former tower. The house was greatly extended and remodelled to its present Georgian design between 1800 and 1845 in the style of architect Walter Newall. The tall three storey wing with its piend-roof very much defines the house and is typical of Newall’s style. In more recent times, the current owner has lovingly and sympathetically refurbished it to create a well-appointed house which retains much period charm including an impressive cantilevered stone staircase, fine corniced ceilings, wood panelling, window shutters and attractive working fireplaces. Constructed from a distinctive red sandstone under a slate roof with ashlar dressings, the accommodation is over four floors, as shown on the accompanying layout plans and photographs. Stroquhan House stands in a private and majestic position within mature grounds with an array of specimen trees including wild cherry, Japanese maple, willow and a magnificent wellingtonia which is believed to be one of the tallest in Scotland. The house is approached off the minor public road through a pillared gateway adjacent to the Lodge via a Tarmacadamed drive which terminates in a large gravel sweep. The breathtaking views from the house are mainly to the north and east across unspoilt rolling countryside and are best enjoyed from the kitchen, dining room and principal bedrooms. This comfortable yet well-proportioned house provides wonderful entertaining space with light, southeast- facing reception rooms and still retains its practicality as a functional country home. 6 On the ground floor the pedimented porch leads into a spacious entrance hallway with an elegant staircase.
