Description
The Old Manse is an early 19th-century house linked to the east end of The Long Cottage. It is built of random rubble limestone, with smooth render to the front, and has ashlar chimneys and a stone slate roof. The two-storey main block has an attic, with a single-storey attic outbuilding to the south and an outshut to the rear. The front of the house has a four-window frontage, with all windows being four-pane sashes within plain architraves. An off-centre round arched doorway has plain architraves and imposts, leading to a six-panel door with a fanlight above. A plain upper floor level band runs along the front. Two ridge-mounted chimneys are visible. The interior has not been inspected. The building is included on the list for its group value.
