Former Manse, Modwenna, Main Street, Longforgan

The Former Manse, located on Main Street in Longforgan, was designed by David Neave and built between 1823 and 1824. This two-storey, cross-plan building features a single-storey service wing. The structure is made of rubble masonry, with dressings that were originally droved ashlar but are now mostly covered with concrete and roughcast. It has a piended slate roof and predominantly features 12-pane sash and case windows, with raised margins on the bowed bays at the south elevation. The house has an eaves course, ridge stacks at the front, and a tall wallhead stack at the rear, along with cast-iron rainwater goods.

On the west elevation, there is an entrance porch located at the left re-entrant, a window to the left, two windows on the first floor, and a small window in the advanced gable on the right. The south elevation is symmetrical with five bays, where the three central bays are advanced and bowed, accented with quoin strips. The east elevation has a blank bay advanced on the left, with three recessed bays to the right. It features a modern door in the center, a bipartite window to the left, and a modern window in a reduced opening to the right, along with a 12-pane sash and case window on the first floor to the right. The single-storey service wing is advanced at the far right, containing two windows and doors. The north elevation has a bay on the right with 24-pane sash and case windows, and the single-storey service wing is slightly advanced on the left with two windows.

Inside, the manse features a flying stair with decorative cast-iron balusters, a domed stairwell with a pointed astragalled rooflight, decorative cornices, and some original chimneypieces, doors, and shutters.

Additionally, there are gatepiers and a boundary wall made of ashlar-coped rubble that adjoins the north wall of the church hall. The boundary includes a footgate to the left and two pyramidal-capped ashlar gatepiers to the far left.
