The Old Manse And Attached Garden Walls

The Old Manse is a house dating from the mid-18th century, constructed of coursed squared limestone with gritstone dressings and rusticated quoins. It features a plinth, continuous plain sill bands, and bands that connect the lintels to both the ground and first floors, along with a moulded eaves cornice. The roof is steeply pitched with 20th-century concrete tiles and has stone-coped gables with moulded kneelers. Stone gable end stacks are adorned with plain banding. The entrance is marked by a central pedimented Doric pilastered doorcase that holds a raised and fielded panelled door. Flanking the entrance are three-light square sectioned mullion windows, with two similar windows above and two more at the eaves. All the windows feature 20th-century leaded lights. At the rear, there is a chamfered mullion and transom cross stair window. Inside, there is a well-crafted contemporary dog-legged staircase with turned balusters and a moulded handrail. The property is accompanied by front rubble walls with flat copings, which are topped by iron railings to the north. There are two central square gate piers with pyramidal copings.
