Description

The former manse in Lamlash, Arran, was built in 1898 and features a two-storey, three-bay design with Gothic details. It has a rectangular plan and includes a lower two-storey service wing at the rear. The exterior is constructed from stugged and snecked squared grey sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, and the gables and service wing are harled. The roof is covered with grey slate.

The front elevation showcases pointed-arch windows with chamfered arrises, framed by 2-pane timber sash and case windows, and gabled dormerheads. It has deep bracketed eaves and wide bargeboards with decorative posts and collars. The central entrance features a panelled door approached by steps, a pointed fanlight, and a stop-chamfered doorcase, all sheltered by a decorative timber gabled porch with ashlar flanks. To the left, there is a tripartite window with a bipartite dormerhead above, while to the right, a four-light canted window has a stone slate roof and a bipartite window above at the full-height gable. The left and right return elevations are blank.

At the rear, the service wing is advanced at the centre, with a window on the ground floor and a dormerhead above on both the left and right sides.

Inside, the manse features decorative cornices, some original chimneypieces, and joinery. The property is enclosed by an ashlar-coped rubble boundary wall.
