Appraisal
Scartown House, reached by a long driveway, was originally built as a 'long house' with rooms opening directly to one another and access by a single entry-passage. The farmhouse was later altered, taking on the form seen today. The house, along with its outbuildings and wrought-iron gates form an attractive group of structures, which contributes to the landscape around.
