Description
The Rectory, also known as the former St Mungo's Manse, is a single-storey and attic building from the later 19th century. It has a square plan and gabled design, featuring Gothic influences, and is situated on elevated ground beside St Mungo's Church. The exterior is mainly constructed of squared and snecked sandstone rubble, with red sandstone used for the entrance bay. It has rusticated dressings and chamfered ashlar margins, along with pointed-arch openings and hoodmoulds.
The windows are timber sash and case with a predominantly 4-pane glazing pattern, and they have chamfered angles at the upper panes. The roof is covered with grey graded slate, and the building features tall shouldered gable end stacks topped with tall clay cans. The cast iron rainwater goods are adorned with decorative floral brackets and moulded hoppers.
Inside, there is a cantilevered stair with moulded cast-iron balusters and a timber handrail. The principal ground floor rooms have a decorative floral cornice.
