The Old Manse, Main Street, Tyninghame

The Old Manse is an 18th-century single-storey row of cottages that was altered in the mid-19th century to create a pair of cottages and later reconstructed in the 20th century as a single dwelling. The building is constructed from random rubble, with squared and snecked stone used for the alterations, and features rendered and lined margins.

On the north elevation, which serves as the entrance, the original design was symmetrical with six bays, including doorways flanked by windows. The right doorway has been blocked, while the left doorway retains a stugged, droved ashlar surround with chamfered arrises and a consoled slab porch. The remaining bays contain windows.

The south elevation, facing the garden, is asymmetrical and has many altered openings.

The west gable features windows at both ground and attic levels, with a smaller ground floor window located to the right.

The east gable is notable for a blank, unusual stone incorporated into the gable head. The sash and case windows have a 12-pane glazing pattern, and the gable has a steep pitch covered with pantiles. There are end gable and mutual gable stacks, but no skews are present.
