Description
The Parish Manse in Dairsie, designed by architect Robert Balfour of St Andrews, was built between 1825 and 1826. This two-storey, three-bay manse is constructed from coursed droved ashlar. It features a painted central Roman Doric doorpiece and canted ground floor windows, with cills and 12-pane sash windows on the first floor. The building has an eaves cornice, straight skews, corncied end stacks, and a slate roof.
Additionally, a garden wall was built in 1829 by mason John Brunton. This wall is rubble-built, partly droved and squared, and incorporates a decorative Renaissance doorway from 1749 on the south wall, which is said to be from a former manse.
