Description

Glenesk is a late 17th century, two-storey, three-bay former manse with single-storey, two-bay wings and later 19th century additions. The building is constructed from pink sandstone rubble with dressed stone features, including stugged squared and snecked sandstone ashlar, and has projecting cills.

The southeast elevation is asymmetrical, featuring a later 19th century gabled bay that projects to the right. It has a three-light canted window on the ground floor and a bipartite window on the first floor, along with a window on the first floor of the right return. There is a 19th century entrance bay at the re-entrant angle to the left, which includes a roll-moulded doorway with a panelled timber door, flanked by geometric stained glass windows. This elevation also has a dividing band course, a four-pane window, and a large modern window to the right at the first floor, topped with a balustraded parapet. The bay to the left is obscured by later additions. The flanking wing to the left has regular fenestration, while the wing to the right features two off-centre windows and a dormer in the attic.

The northeast elevation is mostly obscured by the wing, which has an advanced flue and a small window in the gablehead. The ground floor of the wing has a uPVC glazed door in the centre, flanked by 10-pane windows and a small window to the outer left.

The northwest elevation is near-symmetrical with a three-bay block at the centre. It has irregular fenestration on the ground floor, with a small window in the centre of the first floor, flanked by a four-pane window on the right and a 12-pane window on the left. There is an off-centre uPVC glazed two-leaf doorway to the left of the right wing, along with two ground floor windows in the left wing and a dormer window in the attic.

The building features predominantly two-pane and 12-pane timber sash and case windows, a graded grey slate roof with a lead ridge, and predominantly stone skews. The gablehead and wallhead stacks are coped, and it has cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 1998. The property is enclosed by a rubble boundary wall with a timber gate to the northeast.
