Description
Manuel House is a country house that dates from the 1840s to 1850s and shows the architectural influence of William Burn and David Bryce. The building is two storeys high and features an asymmetrical design with advanced gables that include kneeler skewputts. It has single and mullioned windows, canted ground floor windows, and tall diamond-shaped flues, some of which are positioned above projecting chimney breasts. The exterior is constructed of coursed ashlar with polished dressings, and it has sash and case windows that primarily contain small panes, some of which are horizontal. The roof is made of slate. The entrance features a panelled Gothic-arched door with a crest and a hood-mould above it. Additionally, there is a conical-roofed turret that rises from within one of the internal angles at the rear of the house.
