Brief Description
Shewalton House no longer survives. The site has been largely redeveloped for housing and industry, although the walled garden and some planting may survive.
History
A small 18th-century and house with parkland had degraded by the late part of the century. A new house was built in about 1806. A designed landscape was laid out at this time including parkland and a walled garden. The house was demolished before the end of the 20th century.
