The House

The house and surrounding grounds are currently in the process of being developed by Muir Construction.
The house on its own is not what will make the company any money in the long run it is the surrounding land which will now have large and expensive houses built on it. The houses will be built in such a way that there will be a view of the river from each.
The house itself has started to be striped of old plaster and interior floors and ceilings removed to allow for the drying out and treatment of timbers.
The tree surgeons have already given their instructions and many trees will be cleared from the site in the near future.

It was difficult to tell if any of the surrounding buildings were still standing . The area was very overgrown and because of the time of year that I visited you could not even see the river for the foliage.

None of the houses grandeur and style has been lost. It is still an attractive building with beautiful stone work.

This is the back of the building (Clyde side middle photograph). There is a disabled access ramp that you can't see here that would have been added as would the fire escape stair way when the building became a hospital.

This smaller building has had what looks like another level added and a new roof. We are lead to believe that this was at one time the stables and has been converted at some point.

Polythenes cover the windows as the plaster work is removed and the bare timbers and wiring exposed for renewal. There was no evidence of the stained window or when it might have been removed.

The highlight of SVA Proprty Auctions Ltd in 2001 these was "the successful disposal of the former Broadfield Hospital, for £725,000. It is believed that this sale at the time represented the largest lot ever sold under the hammer in Scotland."
