Description
This is a former Free Church manse and steading, dating from 1865. The manse is a two-storey, symmetrical three-bay dwelling built of rubble with rubble dressings. It features a central, south-facing front door, with symmetrical two-bay east and west gables. The windows have 12 panes, and there is a pair of ridge stacks. The roof is piended and covered in West Highland slate, featuring a valley in the centre rear. A later, two-storey, narrow two-bay wing extends to the rear.
Behind the manse is a single-storey and loft, U-plan steading built of rubble, including a stable and gig-house. It is roofed with Caithness slate. Rubble garden walls enclose the property.
