East Wing, Manse, Kingarth, Bute

This is a circa 1769 building, with repairs undertaken in 1833 and further additions in 1890. It is a symmetrical, two-storey, four-bay building in a plain classical style, originally a manse. A two-storey, single-bay gabled addition projects to the right, and a single-storey, gabled wing with an attic is offset to the left of the centre, projecting to the rear. A single-storey, L-shaped range connects to the outer left, forming a rear courtyard. The building is harled with polished grey sandstone dressings, with red sandstone to the courtyard range. The 1890 addition has a raised base course, corniced canted windows, flush margins, and strip quoins.

The main (SE) front elevation features a modern conservatory on the left, obscuring the original entrance. There is a single window at first floor level, and single windows at both floors in the remaining bays to the left and right. The 1890 addition has a three-light canted window at ground and first floor in its advanced bay, topped by an apex. The rear courtyard range has a single window in the bay to the outer right, and narrow lights in the remaining bays.

The rear (NW) elevation has a single window at both floors in the bay to the outer right. A single window at first floor is obscured by the projecting gabled wing. A modern conservatory is located in the re-entrant angle to the right. The 1890 addition includes single windows in a lean-to section to the right, and a single window at ground and first floor. The rear wing has a single attic window offset to the left of the centre. The courtyard range consists of three bays to the Northwest, and four bays to the Northeast, with boarded timber openings in all bays.

The windows are timber sash and case, with 2-, 4- and 12-pane glazing, and various skylights are present. The roof is covered in graded grey slate, with raised stone skews and moulded skewputts on the 1890 additions. Corniced sandstone ridge and apex stacks are visible, along with various circular cans and a rendered apex stack on the rear wing.

The interior was not inspected in 1996.

A rectangular-plan, walled garden with round-arched rubble coping and harl-pointed red rubble sandstone walls is located to the South. Some repairs were undertaken in the late 20th century. A rubble-coped random rubble wall runs along the street, with square-plan red sandstone piers flanking the entrance. These piers have slight round-arched caps, and wrought iron pedestrian and vehicular gates are in place.
