Description
Birnie Manse is a rambling house dating from various times in the 19th century, incorporating an earlier core. It is a two-storey and attic structure with a symmetrical five-bay east front. The exterior features whitewashed harled rubble with contrasting painted tooled ashlar margins.
The east front has a projecting gabled centre bay with a corniced entrance located in the re-entrant angle. To the west, there is a substantial two-storey drawing room wing, which currently contains the kitchen on the ground floor. The windows have 4- and 12-pane glazing, and the house has coped end and wallhead stacks, all topped with slate roofs.
Additionally, there is a single-storey U-plan steading made of whitewashed rubble with tooled rubble dressings and a slate roof.
