Description
The Middlebie Parish Manse, originally designed by Mr. Crombie in 1858 and revised by John Henderson in 1862, features alterations made in 1904 by James Barbour and John MacLintock Bowie. This two-storey, three-bay former manse is constructed of stugged ashlar with polished dressings.
On the southeast elevation, there is a central bay that slightly projects and is gabled above the wallhead, featuring arched eaves. The entrance includes a round-headed doorway with a moulded, keystoned surround, a panelled door, and a fanlight above. The ground floor has tripartite windows in the outer bays and bipartite windows on the first floor, all with wooden mullions and lying-pane glazing. A band course separates the floors and continues as a cornice at the inner bay.
The roof is piended and has a platform slate covering, with symmetrically placed and linked stacks that create an unusual roof silhouette. To the right, there is a full-height single bay gabled wing that is recessed and incorporates fabric from the earlier manse at the lower level. The rear elevation is asymmetrical.
