The Glebe (former Manse of St Fergus), Kirktown, St Fergus, Peterhead

The Glebe, formerly the manse of St Fergus, is a substantial two-storey building with an irregular three-bay plan, first constructed in 1766 and later extended in 1839 and 1860. The structure consists of three parallel rectangular sections, all harled and topped with slate roofs.

The principal section, located to the south and including the front elevation, was designed by William Smith in 1860. It features a central six-panelled door with a fanlight, surrounded by a splayed ashlar granite frame and topped with a granite stepped Tudor hoodmould. The windows are timber sash and case frames with a four-pane glazing pattern and granite ashlar margins. The pitched roof has straight ashlar skews and block skewputts.

The middle section, dating from around 1839, has a double pitched roof with twin gables at the rear. It includes nine-pane timber sash and case windows on the ground floor and twelve-pane timber sash and case windows on the second floor. A later double door opening has been added to the west side of this section.

The rear section, which dates back to around 1766 and may include alterations from 1804, is a single storey with an attic and features predominantly nine-pane timber sash and case windows. A granite and brick chimney stack is located on the rear elevation. To the northwest of the manse, there is a single storey, mono pitched extension with a collapsed slate roof.

The interior, as observed in 2018, retains several features from each building period. A stairwell with cast iron balusters rises from the ground floor to the attic level of the 1860 manse, though it is enclosed by later 20th-century partitions at the first floor level. The principal west ground floor room has a decorative cornice, while the other main rooms on the ground floor and the first-floor bedroom of the 1860 manse have plain cornices. The east room of the mid-18th century rear section features a flagstone floor.

Additionally, against the southeast corner of the manse, there is a granite cheese press, and to the left of the main entrance, a granite hand mill is present.
