The Old Manse

The Old Manse is a house dating from the 17th century, with "1783 EL" inscribed over the door, likely indicating later work on the building. It features colour washed plaster on a timber frame for the two northern bays, while the southern bay is made of colour washed brick. The roof is covered with old clay tiles. The main block consists of three bays, with one storey and attics. There are three windows on the ground floor, with the southernmost window having a cambered head, and three dormers with sloping roofs above. All windows have 2-light horizontal sashes, except for the sash window on the ground floor to the north. The house has three red brick chimneys: one integrated into the gable end, one on the ridge, and one external to the gable end. The front door, which is panelled and from the 20th century, is set in a moulded surround under a flat hood. It is currently aligned with the ridge stack, but it may have been repositioned. There is also a lower one storey and attics extension at the northern gable end, which features horizontal sashes.
