Description
The Manse in East Saltoun, designed by Robert Burn in 1802, is a 3-bay, 2-storey house featuring slightly recessed single-storey wings and is 1-room deep. The exterior is constructed from squared cream rubble with grey ashlar dressings and an eaves course.
On the west elevation, the 3 bays are grouped towards the center, showcasing a corniced and architraved doorway with 2-leaf doors and a fanlight. There are windows in the flanking bays on the first floor. To the right wing, there is a single window, while the left wing has been altered to include a doorway and a gabled hot-house.
The east elevation features a central stair window, with stone mullioned tripartite windows in the outer bays at ground level and single windows on the first floor. It also includes 3-light flat-roofed dormers and sash and case windows with a 12-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, has a deep pitch, and is finished with ashlar skews and generous end stacks.
The property is complemented by simple wrought-iron gates, squared rubble piers, and ashlar-coped quadrant walls, which lead to further retaining walls.
