Manse And Walled Garden, 6 Bruce Street, Lochmaben

The Manse and Walled Garden at 6 Bruce Street in Lochmaben, designed by architect Walter Newall around 1838-1840, is a two-storey building with a three-bay main elevation set back from the street. It features a high walled garden to the east.

The house is constructed from stugged red ashlar with polished margins. The north elevation has a central panelled door topped with a fanlight and a corniced hood supported by stylised pendant consoles. It includes sash windows with a 12-pane glazing pattern, and the upper lintels are connected to a narrow eaves band. To the right, there is a near full-height wing that is recessed, along with a cornice and symmetrically placed stacks with grouped, corniced, and coped flues. The roof is shallow-pitched with a wide platform.

On the east elevation, there are two shallow projecting mullioned bays, one of which has lying panes while the other has been altered and now features steps leading to the garden. The first floor has three single windows.

Inside, the manse has a central hall with a cantilevered stair that boasts decorative cast-iron balusters. The sitting room contains a pilastered marble chimneypiece.

The property is set behind a low wall with modern iron railings. The walled garden is a quadrangular area with walls that may date back to the 18th century but were raised in the 19th century. It is built from rubble with ashlar coping and connects to the churchyard at the south.
