Description

Old Manse in Liff is a late 17th to early 18th century, two-storey rectangular-plan manse. It features a pentice-roof addition to the north, a gable addition to the east (which has been reduced to a pentice roof), and a round tower at the northeast angle. The building is currently in ruinous condition and partially roofed, situated within the garden of a modern villa. It is constructed of rubble with a slate roof.

On the south elevation, there is a door to the right and two blocked windows on the ground floor to the left, with one blocked window on the first floor. The west gable has a window on both the ground and first floors to the left, while the right side has blocked windows on both floors and a stack at the gable. The north elevation shows a completely collapsed pentice-roof addition, exposing an earlier wall, with a door in the center and a blocked window on the first floor to the right, alongside the round tower on the left. The east gable is blank, with the round tower located to the right.
