Description
Malabar is a former vicarage built in 1861 by Ewan Christian. It is a two-storey building constructed of red brick, featuring a cross and diaper pattern in grey brickwork. The roof is tiled, adorned with bands of fishscale tiles and has clustered chimneystacks. The structure includes one large gable and two dormers with bargeboards. Sash windows are present throughout, and there is a central three-light bay.
