Appraisal
Although Corbollis House has been demolished the complex of outbuildings retain their historic form and are a fine example of the robust stone buildings which contributed to the character of the country estate. The attractive gate lodge partially retains its original form and is an indication of the presence of the former house and the once important demesne.
