Description

The Church of Scotland Manse in Cromarty is a house dating from around 1700, featuring two storeys and a dormerless attic in an L-shaped plan. The entrance is located at the re-entrant angle on the northeast side. A projecting three-storey wing rises from the centre of the west elevation, reaching the ridge line of the main block. The building is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings and shows traces of harling.

At the northeast angle, there are two doorways; one features moulded lugged architraves, while a flanking window also has moulded architraves and a relieving arch. The first floor has three windows. The west elevation has three bays, with an inserted door to the right and doors in each gable. The roof is steeply pitched, with crowsteps on all gables, rolled moulded coping on the chimneys, and a moulded eaves course. The windows are 12-pane sashes, and the roof is covered with slate and has a stone ridge.

Surrounding the property are higher outer garden walls made of rubble with flat stone coping, some of which are lined with brick. There is also a brick inner wall topped with a stone coping.
