Danefield House, Largs, North Ayrshire, Scotland, is a late 19th-century villa designed for William Crum by John Douglas.
[2] The Crums were connected by marriage with Larg's most notable resident, William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, who had built a large mansion, Netherhall, in the town.
[3] They also rented Mere Old Hall in Cheshire, the county in which Douglas was most prolific.
[4] Pevsner describes the style of Danefield as "a simplified version of (Douglas's) Arts and Crafts Paddocks (with a) dash of Scots Baronial".
[1] Of two storeys, with substantial cellars and attics, the villa is constructed of yellow ashlar with old red sandstone dressings.
