Description
The Old Manse is an early 19th-century house situated within a terrace. Constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, it has a plain clay tile roof which extends over the adjacent property. The roof has no coped verges, and there are brick stacks on the left gable end and at the junction with the neighboring Middle House. The house follows a double pile plan and forms the left-hand dwelling of a central two-unit block within a four-unit terrace. It has two storeys and three bays, with a butt joint in the brickwork at the junction with No. 5. The windows are 16-pane sash windows, and the central entrance features a six-panel door with a plain glass fanlight. The property is part of a well-preserved group of early 19th-century buildings, likely connected to the construction of the nearby Baptist Chapel, which shares similar brickwork.
