Description
Kirkmaiden Manse is a former manse built in 1837. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure made of painted rubble with painted raised margins.
On the east elevation, there is a deep-set panelled door at the center, topped by a five-pane fanlight. Above this, a small oval plaque reads "Built AD MDCCCXXXVII". The windows are regularly spaced.
The south elevation features a window at the center on both the ground and first floors, as well as one in the gablehead. The north elevation is gabled and blank.
On the west elevation, there are windows on both floors to the left and right. There is a single-storey piended wing to the left of center, which has a door on the left and two windows on the north return, along with a small window to the right on the west side. A stair window is located flanking the wing to the right of center.
The windows are sash and case with four-pane glazing. The building has coped skews and painted rubble banded stacks, with gableheads on the north and south and a wallhead stack to the left of center on the west elevation. The roof is covered with small purple slates and features octagonal cans. There are three rooflights on the east pitch, two on the west pitch, and several on the wing. The eaves courses are modern timber.
To the north, there is a single-storey former stable range that was converted to domestic use around 1990. This range is also made of painted rubble and has modern tiles.
