Description
The Old Manse is a small house dating from the early 18th century, with later additions and rebuilding. The front facade features timber studding with whitewashed plaster infill, while the rear is brick and the original gable walls are rubble stone. The thatched roof is half-hipped to the north and has brick end stacks. The house is 1½ storeys high with three bays. It has three-light leaded casement windows, with those on the first floor set beneath thatched eyebrows. A central doorway is sheltered by a 20th-century gabled porch, which also incorporates leaded casement windows to its sides. 19th- and 20th-century extensions are visible at both gables; a full-height extension to the left and a single-storey extension with a tiled roof to the right, both rendered and whitewashed, with some brick visible in the street gable end.
