Description
The Manse is a former manse built between 1840 and 1850. It is constructed of red brick with tile-hanging on the first floor and features painted dressings. The building has a Welsh slate roof and is two storeys high with three bays. The symmetrical front elevation includes pilaster strips at the corners, a central 20th-century glazed door with a three-pane overlight, and flanking 16-pane sash windows on each floor. Above the door, there is a round-arched sash window with radial glazing bars at the top, and all openings are framed with architraves. The roof is hipped and oversailing, with lateral stacks. On the right side, there is a door located below a first-floor window, and there is a rear wing.
