Description
The Manse is an early 19th-century manse built of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern. It has a slate roof with a hipped design, and the hips return. Tall gable end stacks are located at the front and rear. The building is double-depth and has a regular two-window front with recessed 12-pane sashes. The windows have splayed brick voussoirs, with painted voussoirs to the ground-floor windows. A central panelled door is sheltered by a flat moulded hood supported on decorative brackets. Four painted tie-rods are visible on the front elevation. The eaves are slightly projecting and have flat soffits. The interior remains uninspected. The manse is associated with a Baptist chapel.
