Description
Morham Manse is a 2-storey, 3-bay T-plan manse designed by James Gillespie Graham in 1826, with Robert Wright as the overseeing architect. The building features harled Chesters rubble with Hailes ashlar quoins, margins, and eaves course.
On the west elevation, there is a substantial pilastered doorpiece at the center, which includes a segmentally arched doorway, a decorative fanlight, and a deep-set panelled door. Flanking bays contain windows, and there are additional windows in each bay at the first floor.
The east elevation has a projecting jamb at the center with a stair window on the south return by the re-entrant angle. There is a porch addition at ground level and a single-storey piend roofed addition set in the re-entrant angle to the north, which has first-floor windows above. The east end features a window on each floor at the center, along with an additional window at ground level.
The north and south elevations were originally blank. A decorative modern conservatory has been added to the south elevation of the north-south block, and a garage is located to the north. The sash and case windows have a small-pane glazing pattern. The building has shouldered and corniced ashlar end stacks, with one brick stack repaired, and decorative cans retained. The roofs are covered with grey slates.
