The Old Manse

The Old Manse is a house dating from the 17th century, with significant additions in 1722. It is partly rendered and extended with red brick, and has a plain tiled roof. The house has two storeys and an attic, set on a plinth with a continuous projecting band and a wooden eaves cornice with decorative modillions to a hipped roof. There are two hipped dormers and a central chimney stack. The regular arrangement of windows includes five glazing bar sashes on the first floor and four on the ground floor. A central door consists of six raised and fielded panels, with a tented, leaded hood above. The date 1722 is inscribed on two heart-shaped stones at the centre of the building. A recessed two-storey wing is to the left, featuring a single glazing bar sash on each floor and a chimney stack at the end. This wing is said to contain inglenooks, stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and extends structurally behind the early 18th century facade on the right-hand side.
