Whitekirk Manse

Whitekirk Manse is a two-storey, three-bay manse built in 1796, which has been extended to form an L-shape with a significant addition made in 1837 by Robert Brown, featuring a deeper three-bay gabled wing. The south elevation is constructed of rubble whinstone, while the other elevations are harled, with grey ashlar dressings. There is an ashlar base course and an eaves cornice on the south side.

The south elevation presents a symmetrical, three-bay facade with an arcaded design. It features a flush panelled door with a fanlight above. The ground level has ashlar dressings that create a mock-arcade, complemented by a moulded string course at the impost level. To the outer right, there is a single-storey piend-roofed projection with one window.

On the east elevation, there are two bays from the original house facing east, with the gable of the 1837 addition to the left. A later rectangular porch projects from this side. The stair window above and the ground floor window to the right have been enlarged. The ground and first-floor windows of the gabled addition are present, along with a blocked window and an extension to the outer left. The west gable of the 1837 addition features three ground floor windows and two first-floor windows in the outer bays.

The sash and case windows have a 12-pane glazing pattern, and the building is topped with slate roofs. The gable wallhead stacks are rendered and lined to resemble ashlar on the original house, while the later addition features true ashlar with moulded coping.

Inside, there is a tiled vestibule and panelled window shutters. The property also includes rubble retaining walls and pyramid-capped square ashlar gatepiers to the southeast, accompanied by rubble quadrant walls. Additionally, there are drum piers that once served the stables located to the northeast.
