Description
Old Manse in Tornagrain is an asymmetrical 2-storey, 3-bay L-plan house built in 1848. The exterior is harled, featuring contrasting painted tooled ashlar margins. The northwest entrance front has a near center door beneath a bracketed hood, with a shallow projecting gabled bay on the left that has a bipartite window on the ground floor, and a more pronounced projecting gabled bay on the right that includes a canted bay window on the ground floor. The southwest garden front is regular, again featuring a shallow projecting bay with an apex stock. The first-floor windows are slightly shorter than those on the ground floor and have multi-pane glazing, mainly with 12-pane designs, along with saw-tooth skews, apex finials, and end stacks. The house has slate roofs and a small lean-to extension at the rear. Additionally, there is an L-plan whitewashed rubble steading with a slated roof.
