Description
South Church Manse, located at 74 Cameron Street in Stonehaven, was likely designed by James Henderson in 1844. This two-storey and attic building features a three-bay rectangular plan and is classically detailed. It sits on an elevated site surrounded by enclosure walls. The exterior is made of roughly squared and coursed rubble with stugged quoins and margins, and it is harled with narrow stone margins at the rear. The manse has a raised base course.
On the south elevation, the central bay at ground level has steps leading up to a panelled timber door with a plate glass fanlight, flanked by windows in the outer bays. The first floor has regular fenestration close to the eaves, which gives way to polygonal-roofed canted dormer windows above the outer bays. The north (rear) elevation is asymmetrically fenestrated, featuring a variety of elements, including a first-floor window that breaks the eaves into a dormer gablet in the bay to the right of centre.
The windows are timber sash and case with replacement 12-pane and plate glass glazing patterns. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped squared rubble stacks with thackstanes and some cans, as well as ashlar-coped skews with flat skewputts.
Inside, some moulded plasterwork remains, including a broad pilastered arch with a scrolled keystone in the stair hall, a two-leaf part-glazed screen door, architraved panelled doors, and a steeply curved cantilevered staircase with decorative ironwork balusters.
The property is also defined by its boundary walls and gatepiers, which consist of flat- and rubble-coped rubble walls, buttressed to the north, and pyramidally-coped square-section ashlar gatepiers to the south.
