Old Church Manse, Glencairn Road

The Old Church Manse, built in 1930, is a two-story, roughly five-bay, L-shaped Arts and Crafts manse incorporating Scottish Baronial detailing. It is located on Glencairn Road. The design features crowstepped gables, a bartizan turret, and gabled dormers. The main entrance faces north, with a service wing extending to the east. A north-south orientated gable is visible to the west, with a bartizan at the northwest corner, and a gabled section projecting to the north, containing a flat-roofed stair block. The manse is constructed with white-painted roughcast render and brown sandstone dressings, with a discontinuous eaves course and plain sandstone window margins.

The north elevation, which serves as the main entrance, features a studded timber-boarded front door set within a stop-chamfered architrave with long and short quoins. A hoodmould sits above the door, with label stops carved in the form of angel faces; a tablet panel above displays a carved Lion Rampant. A broad stone entrance step is accompanied by a low side wall. The first floor of the entrance gable is jettied out on a deep stone cornice, with a window above the entrance and further windows to the left return. The stair block is advanced to the right, with a small window at ground level and a staircase window above. The outer right exhibits an asymmetrical gable with a chimney breast that corbels outwards, supported by dentilled corbels springing from the first floor. A datestone inscribed "1930" is positioned to the left of the chimney stack. A recessed service wing is located to the left of the entrance, featuring a central round arch leading to a recessed lobby and a timber-boarded garage door to the left, with three windows to the right. At the first floor, two three-light strip windows are set under the eaves. The east return has a piended catslide roof.

The west side elevation is three bays wide, featuring a stone-mullioned bipartite window at ground level to the left, with gabled dormers breaking the eaves of the first floor. A circular bartizan, containing one window, is positioned on the outer left.

The south (garden) elevation is irregularly fenestrated. A gable to the left incorporates a three-light canted bay window at ground level. The central two-bay section features a gabled dormer at the first floor, while a slightly lower three-bay service wing is located to the right. Original features include a timber-boarded back door with sidelights and two piend-roofed dormers breaking the eaves of the first floor.

The manse has small-pane glazing in horned timber sash and case windows, with a leaded light to the stair containing stained glass. The stacks are rendered, stone-coped, and topped with short clay cans. The roof is covered in graded grey slate with ridge tiles. Internally, the manse features a paved lobby with a glazed inner door displaying bevelled glass and leaded sidelights, some with stained glass. There is a fully panelled entrance hall, with a central ceiling boss displaying a gilt Greek Cross supporting an electric light. The timber dog-leg staircase is a prominent feature, with twist balusters. A carved lion holding a shield bearing a St Andrews Cross sits on the newel post, and there is stained glass to the staircase window displaying a heraldic device including a St Andrews Cross and thistles. The drawing room boasts a timber chimney piece, timber picture rail, and a plaster ceiling frieze with a vine pattern. Timber panelled interior doors are present throughout, with brass handles.
