description
Preston Lodge was built in 1623, but it was probably largely rebuilt in a later century. The city villa is owned by the Crown and was available to the Ministry of Labor.
The three-storey villa is located on the main road Cupars ( A91 ) in the center of the village. The Preston Lodge has a quasi-square floor plan. Flat corner projections emerge on the south-facing main facade . The windows there on the first floor are pilastrated , those of the second are framed with ornament. The central main portal is designed in a Doric style. In the historically particularly interesting interior there is a prominent balustrade along a staircase and an open fireplace with Corinthian columns in the dining room.
