The Old Manse

The Old Manse is an 18th and early 19th century, L-shaped house. It has two storeys and a hipped slate roof. The south wing has a higher roofline and a red brick chimney in the centre. There is another stack at the rear of the east wing. The main facade faces east and has a symmetrical arrangement of three windows. These windows are flush box sashes with architraves and 6/6 panes. The ground floor windows have two-panelled external shutters. A small circular window is located between the first and second windows from the north. The front door is set within an 18th-century pilastered wooden doorcase topped with a triangular pediment. The frieze of the doorcase is decorated with incised fretwork and rosettes. In the 19th century, the building served as the manse for the Congregational Church on London Road.
