Description
The Old Manse is a house that was formerly the Presbyterian manse, dating from the early 18th century, possibly around 1715, although the datestone is worn. It is constructed of dressed stone and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys and consists of five bays on the main front and one bay on the left side, which includes a through-passage with a lintel that has a dated keystone.
The main five-bay section has a central doorway that features a two-leaf panelled door set within an open-pedimented stone surround, complete with scrolled brackets and thin pilasters. There is a late 19th-century glazed porch attached to the entrance. The windows are four-pane sashes set in architraves with moulded sills. The roof is steeply pitched with gabled ends, flat coping, and old brick stacks at either end.
Inside, the house retains several two-panel doors and panelled shutters. On the first floor, there are two early 18th-century stone fireplaces, which have moulded edges and lobed lintels.
