3 Manse Lane, Stromness

3 Manse Lane in Stromness is an early 19th-century house with later alterations. It is a two-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan symmetrical building, with a single-storey, three-bay shed attached to the west and a two-storey house with an attic attached to the east. The property is built on ground that rises steeply to the west and is harled. The first-floor windows are positioned close to the eaves.

On the south elevation, there is a deep-set, part-glazed timber panelled door at ground level in the central bay, with a window above it on the first floor. Each bay has a window on both floors flanking the central entrance. The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate, featuring a stone ridge and concrete skews. There is a harled corniced gablehead stack to the west and a harled corniced common stack to the east, along with uPVC rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 1997.

To the west of the main house, there is a rectangular-plan outbuilding made of harl-pointed rubble. It has a boarded door on both the left and right sides, with a small window set to the left between them. The outbuilding also features an old Orkney Grey slate roof, a stone ridge, and a rubble corniced stack on the west gablehead.

Additionally, there is a walled garden to the west, enclosed by a rubble wall, which includes a boarded entrance gate at the southwest angle.
