Middlebie Parish Manse

Apparently John Henderson, 1862, revising Mr Crombie's design

of 1858; alterations to recessed wing by James Barbour and

John MacLintock Bowie 1904. 2-storey, 3-bay former manse.

Stugged ashlar with polished dressings.

S ELEVATION: central slightly advanced bay gabled above

wallhead and with arched eaves; round-headed doorway in

moulded, keystoned surround, panelled door with fanlight;

ground floor tripartites in outer bays, bipartites at 1st

floor (all with wooden mullions and lying-pane glazing); band

course between floors continued as cornice at inner bay.

Piended and platform slate roof; symmetrically placed and

linked stacks giving unusual roof silhouette. Full-height

single bay gabled wing recessed at right incorporates fabric

of earlier manse at lower level. Asymmetrical rear elevation.
