Exterior Description And Setting

A substantial two storey gabled house with attic, slated, three bays wide with central entrance door and pedimented distyle porch. Bold quoin stones, modern white slightly textured rendering, chimney in each gable. Windows finished with painted plastered surround. Original windows replaced with P V C and main front ground floor windows appear to be considerably enlarged. Attic is lit by small window in west gable. To the rear the windows are arranged in an almost abstract pattern, not unattractive. Across from the rear is a very good nicely composed two storey stabling block with central gateway built in basalt with openings trimmed fine brick and slated. The buildings are set in a pleasant and well kept garden.

Historical Information

The manse was built in 1896 perhaps on the site of a previous building. The stabling to the rear was built at the same time to facilitate the church congregation. The church sold the manse to Mr J Clements who sold it to a Canon Scott who sold it to the present occupiers.
