Lundie Parish Manse

The Lundie Parish Manse is a house of various periods, originally constructed in 1797 and enlarged in the 19th century. It is accompanied by a garden wall, a dairy block, and a coach house.

The original building is a two-storey, T-shaped house with three bays, constructed of rubble with irregular, dressed ashlar margins. A two-storey addition was made between 1846 and 1847, built of rubble with stugged quoins and dressed margins. All buildings have slate roofs, with the dairy block having a piended roof. The porch is rendered with stugged ashlar, a moulded stone cornice, and a flat leaded roof. The original house features mostly 12-pane sash and case windows, although some ground-floor windows on the south elevation and first-floor windows on the west elevation have been replaced with paired plate glass windows. Deep eaves with stone consoles at the gable angles (angled at the southeast corner) are present, along with exposed purlin ends, plain bargeboards with lead flashings, and ridge and end stacks.

The south elevation shows the original house to the left, with a central, single-storey rectangular porch addition featuring a window and a return door. A recessed addition is positioned to the right under the eaves, with paired windows on both the ground and first floors. On the west elevation, there is a window at ground level and a gable at first floor level. A recessed bay to the left contains a door formed from a window, with paired windows on the first floor. The north elevation has a blank gable to the right, a low rubble drystone wall with a footgate to the far right, and a dairy block to the left, featuring two doors ('dairy' is painted faintly above the lintel of the right-hand door) and a recessed lean-to porch. A margin-paned stair window is positioned in the main house. On the east elevation, a window is located at ground-floor level, and the dairy block is to the right, with a recessed door in the re-entrant angle.

The interior includes 19th-century fireplaces, plain moulded cornices in the principal rooms, some doors with fielded panels, and a staircase with decorative cast-iron balusters.

A low drystone wall runs along the north side of the house, concealed by laurel planting, and incorporates a stone stile and a droved ashlar pump with a complete mechanism.

Adjacent to the house is a coach house/stable, built in 1830 and later extended to form an L-shape and with a further brick addition. It is constructed of rubble with dressings similar to the dairy block, featuring a piended slate roof and cast-iron rainwater goods. The south elevation has two boarded doors to the left and two carriage doors in the advanced bays to the right. The return elevation has boarded doors, while the north elevation has two boarded doors and a roofless lean-to.
