House, Mount Ballan This splendid building gave no indication as to its purpose, and I couldn't find a name, but it's next door to Mount Ballen House (qv).  

Fellow Geograph-er Kevin told me the following:
"Looks like Little Ballan.
If so then it was used as a nursing home and in WW2, a Land Army Hostel."  Thanks Kevin.
