Description
Manse, Edgerston, is a mid-19th century, two-storey, three-bay L-plan building. It is constructed from squared and snecked cream sandstone with ashlar margins and chamfered reveals. The manse features a base course and first-floor windows that break the eaves in gabled dormerheads.
On the east elevation, the building has a two-storey, three-bay layout with a projecting single-storey stone porch at the centre, which includes a cornice and blocking course. There is a deep-set panelled door and a narrow window on the return wall to the south. To the left, there is a piend-roofed four-light canted window with stone mullions, and a single window to the right. The first floor has windows in all bays, with a larger dormerhead at the centre.
The north elevation features a two-storey, two-bay design with a canted window to the left at ground level, similar to the east elevation, and a window to the right, with additional windows above. There is a single-storey, two-bay wing to the right.
On the west elevation, there are two small windows at ground level to the right and a window above under the eaves. A tall, narrow stair window with seven horizontal panes is located to the left in the re-entrant angle formed with the gabled rear wing. The rear wing has a door at ground level and a closet window to the right on the return, along with a window above under the eaves. Beyond this, there is a single-storey, three-bay wing with a door to the left. The projecting single and two-storey wings have blank gables.
The south elevation features a blank two-storey gabled bay and the rear wing to the left. The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case windows, with six panes in the canted windows. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are ashlar coped skews and grouped ashlar stacks at the gableheads, which have chamfered arrises and pulvinated linking neck bands.
The interior was not seen in 1992.
Additionally, there is a small single-storey gabled stone barn to the west, which has a door at the centre of the east wall. To the south, there is a rectangular piend-roofed stone icehouse with a door in the north wall.
