The Walled Garden at Resolis Parish Manse, built in 1831, features coursers with ashlar dressings. It is a two-storey structure with three bays, where the center bay slightly projects forward and has a chimney-pedimented design with a blind oculus in the tympanum. The central door is round-arched and set back within a rectangular architraved opening. On the first floor, the central window is tripartite, and all first-floor windows are connected by a cill course and a lintel/eaves band. The roof is slated and includes two piended dormers, with the gables and rear being harled. There is a later wing at the rear of the building.
The garden wall is constructed of rubble. The steading is U-shaped and made of sneckharled rubble with broached and droved ashlar dressings. It is a single-storey building with a loft and features a principal elevation with seven bays, including segmental-arched cart bays at the center three bays and asymmetrically placed piend roofed loft openings. The roof is also slated.
