Description
The Parish Church Manse in Tighnabruaich is a single-storey and attic villa built in 1863 by Boucher and Cousland. It features an asymmetrical design with three bays, constructed from cream sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings. The building has a base course, ashlar mullioned windows, chamfered arrises, overhanging bracketed eaves, and bargeboarded gables.
On the south elevation, there is a round-arched doorway at the center with two-leaf panelled doors and a gabled canopy supported by timber brackets above. A small window is located above the doorway. To the right, there is a bipartite window at ground level and a round-arched window that breaks the eaves above, accompanied by a gable dormerhead. The taller gabled bay to the left features a canted window at ground level and a round-arched window above.
The west elevation shows a gable with a window on the left side at the first floor. The villa has 2-pane and 4-pane sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, and rendered and coped end stacks with moulded cans.
