Manse, Contin

The Manse in Contin is a 2-storey, 3-bay house built in 1794, with repairs and additions made by George Angus in 1829, further repairs in 1844, and alterations by W.C. Joass in 1894. The exterior is harled with tooled ashlar margins, featuring a 1794 frontage that includes a central door highlighted by a projecting gabled porch added in 1894, which has a side entrance and a later side light. The house has three dormers in large gablets, with a central stack and renewed end stacks, all dating from 1894.

At the rear, there is a parallel wing from 1829 that appears as a double pile on the west side, which contains a first-floor drawing room with a coved ceiling that has since been divided. A further wing, added in 1894, extends north and presents an east-facing, 2-storey, 4-bay frontage. This includes one single window and one bipartite window that rise into gabletted dormers similar to those on the south front. The windows feature 12-pane glazing, and the house has corniced end and ridge stacks, mostly renewed or originating from 1894, topped with slate roofs.
