Description

St Clement's Parish Manse is a 2-storey, 3-bay dwelling built in 1791, with additions by John Hay in Maryburgh between 1825 and 1827, and alterations and repairs by Alexander Messer in 1854, followed by further repairs by Ross and Joass in 1861. The house features a gabled centre bay that faces the street to the north and has a large projecting 2-storey wing at the rear, which serves as the garden front. The exterior is constructed of rubble with painted ashlar margins.

The centre door is concealed by a later projecting gabled porch, which has attenuated scroll skewputts to the gablet above and an apex stack. There are two piended dormers on the south side, and the windows are fitted with 2-pane glazing. The building has corniced end stacks and a slate roof. Additionally, there is a later 19th-century cast-iron pedestrian gate and gate piers, which include a wrought-iron over-throw and an original lamp bracket with lamp. Matching railings are present on a low coped retaining wall.
