The Gate House at Cruickston Park was originally built in 1960 for the farm manager, Bill McLean, and his wife. It is uniquely located outside the property’s entrance gate on a height of land that overlooks the flood plain and the river. It is easily accessible by Blair road and is its own isolated lot that backs onto a mature forest. It traverses the real world and Cruickston’s world. The exterior of the house is a handsome blend of old and new, including large windows allowing visual cues to the natural surroundings. One gets to enjoy nature without being fully in it. There are two artisan patios lined with rhododendron, one with a gas fire pit, visible from the living room; both structured and tidy. However, it’s the first impression while walking through the front entrance of the Gate House that is most impactful: beautiful windows, open spaces, vaulted ceiling, and quality finishes. The details are breath taking. Marble, glass, crystal, brass, stone et al in balanced proportions - Cruickston Park’s trademark. Honouring those choosing our version of refinement.
