Introduction
This almost square-shaped, country estate consisted of a house with a central open park land, a lake to the south-west and a wooded area with boundary walks to the north.
On the 1848 Ordnance Survey map this roughly square-shaped park is shown with fields on the north and east and gardens and houses to the south and west.
The grounds included the house in the north-east corner with associated garden, a belt of trees on the northern boundary with laid out walks, a crescent-shaped lake to the south-west and open park in the central area and south-eastern corner.
By 1895 the house and gardens remained but Kinnaird and Rathen Roads had been laid out in the grounds.
- History
The house and gardens are shown in the 1848 Ordnance Survey map.
On the 1895 map the name of the house had changed to Withington Hall.
A survey of 1994 recorded a hospital in the grounds.
