Description
Forglen Free Manse, built around 1865, is likely the work of architect James Duncan from Turriff. This two-storey, three-bay manse is designed in an L-shape and features a harled exterior with Turriff sandstone dressings.
On the east elevation, the central door is topped with a letterbox fanlight and a bracketed cornice. There are canted bays on either side at the ground floor, while the first floor has three windows that break the eaves in gabled dormerheads, each adorned with finials.
The west elevation includes a wing that extends at right angles to the rear, with windows on each floor of the re-entrant elevations. The gable ends are blind. The windows are sash and case style with a four-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, featuring ashlar coped skews and gablet skewputts, along with corniced ashlar stacks that have decorative cans.
Inside, the manse retains some original fireplaces, wood graining on the doors, and a cast-iron balustrade on the staircase.
