Gledheather was built in 1871 by John Patrick in the grounds of the family estate known as Dunminning House. The Patrick family had made a considerable fortune in the Linen industry and John having inherited his fortune from his father, retired from the Linen Trade establishing Gledheather. It is understood that it was initially constructed as a smaller house being latterly extended to incorporate the front elevation encompassing the principal reception entrance, rooms and bedrooms.
In the 1920’s, the current owners family acquired Gledheather and since then it has been passed down through each generation with each acting as a custodian being careful to retain and indeed maintain many of the original features of this exceptional Victorian residence that we see today.
