Description

The Manse is a house, likely built in the mid-19th century. It features slobbered rubble construction with rusticated quoins and has a graduated slate roof. The building is symmetrical, with two storeys and three bays. The central entrance consists of a panelled door with an overlight, set within a corniced doorcase. On either side of the door, there are sash windows with glazing bars, and three more sash windows above, all framed in stucco surrounds. The house is topped with corniced stone chimneys at each end.
