The Manse To Milborne Port Methodist Church

This is a house, likely built in 1866. It is constructed of ham stone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof featuring bands of purple and grey slate, decorative bargeboards to the gables, ornamental clay ridge tiles, and yellow brick chimney stacks. The south elevation has two storeys and three bays. The outer bays are gabled, with margined sash windows. The lower bay on the left has a heavily detailed three-light angled bay window with wrought iron railings forming a balcony to the double window above. Each window in the balcony is set within a pointed arched recess with a column between and trefoil decoration in the tympanum. Bay 3 has a plain window opening below and a single light in a pointed arched recess above, with quatrefoil decorations. A six-panelled entrance door sits in a pointed arched recess in bay 2, with a wooden traceried fanlight above, and a small plain window under the eaves. The side elevations are similar but plainer. The interior was not inspected. The house forms a good group with the nearby Methodist Church, occupying a prominent hillside location.
