Carriage House And Stables, Fairnielaw, Main Street, Athelstaneford

This is a circa 1780 building, originally a two-story, three-bay L-plan manse, with later alterations. It is harled with raised margins and painted around the windows. The north elevation features an entrance to the right of a later flat-roofed porch with a cornice, and a window in front of the entrance. Ground-floor windows flank the entrance, and there are three windows to the first floor, close under the eaves.

A lower, two-story wing extends to the south at the rear; this wing was likely built later. It has an irregular window pattern, and a very small light in the first floor of the east gable wall, as well as a blocked attic window above. The windows on the north elevation are sash and case windows with plate glass, while some windows on the sides and rear have 12-pane glazing.

The steeply pitched roof is covered in grey slates, with straight skews, and has harled end stacks with ashlar margins and cornice.

To the northwest is a 19th-century carriage house and stables, with a piend roof and rubble retaining walls.

The manse was constructed around the same time as a new parish church and schoolhouse in 1780. George Goldie, minister between 1778 and 1805, compiled the parish record for the First Statistical Account. Planning consent was granted for the conversion of the carriage house to residential use on 28 March 1990, and for rooflights and astragalled windows in the main house on 29 January 1991. The building is referenced in "The Statistical Account" (1799), "The New Statistical Account" (1835), T.O. Duncan's "Athelstaneford" (1934), and C. McWilliam's "Buildings of Scotland: Lothian" (1978).
