Description
Troqueer Manse is a two-storey, three-bay manse located on Troqueer Road in Dumfries, designed by architects Fred Maxwell of Piermont and John MacCracken of Dumfries between 1800 and 1802. The building features a full-width, full-height twin-gabled rear wing, which was added in 1811, along with a subsequent smaller rear addition. It is constructed from stugged red ashlar with painted margins and rusticated quoins.
A central corniced square porch was added to the south in the mid-19th century, which includes a side entry. The manse has plate glass sash windows, an eaves and lintel band, a cornice, straight skews, and end stacks, all topped with a slate roof. The west flank features a large plain conservatory and a two-storey canted window.
At the roadside, there are two corniced square gatepiers.
