Description
The Old Parish Manse, built around 1882, is a two-storey building with an attic, featuring a three-bay, square-plan design and multiple gables. It has a recessed single-storey section to the south and an outbuilding range at the rear that forms a courtyard. The left bay is advanced and includes a gabled hood moulded porch with a four-centred arch doorway and a moulded plaque. There are plaques at the apexes, stone finials, bipartite windows on the north side, and narrow round-arched windows at the attic apexes. The exterior is made of coursed squared pink and grey rubble, with stugged blonde sandstone quoins and margins that have droved stop-chamfered arises, and a base course.
The windows are 4-pane timber sash and case style, and the doors are timber boarded with decorative cast-iron brackets. The roof is covered with graduated small thick grey slates, featuring stone skews with beaked skew-putts, stone ridge finials, and tall corniced shouldered gable and ridge stacks. The building has cast-iron gutters and downpipes with squared hoppers.
Inside, the plan form remains intact, including an open dog-leg stair with turned timber balusters and a cupola above, as well as a small turned timber service stair leading to the lower section. Some decorative features are still present, such as fireplaces, simple cornicing, and 4-panel doors. The wash house retains its original tubs and stone flag floor.
At the rear, there is a single-storey, four-bay steep-pitched former stable range with stall dividers. This structure is also made of coursed squared rubble, with stugged blonde sandstone quoins and margins featuring droved stop-chamfered arises. The courtyard is enclosed by squared pyramidal capped chamfered stone gatepiers, and there is a watering trough in the corner of the courtyard.
Surrounding the site are stone boundary walls with cast-iron gates.
