Wesley Manse, 9 Hillhead, Lerwick

Wesley Manse is a circa 1877, two-storey and attic manse of rectangular plan, designed by William Parslow. The main (east) elevation is constructed of bull-faced squared and snecked sandstone, while the side and rear elevations use harl-pointed rubble with droved sandstone ashlar dressings. A base and cill course runs along the ground, with projecting cills to the windows.

The asymmetrical east elevation features a single-storey porch in the centre bay, built on a stone base with half-timbering and a jerkin-headed roof. It contains a two-leaf vertically-boarded timber door with plate glass sidelights, an inner panelled door with glazed upper sections, and a two-pane pointed-arched fanlight above. To the right, a two-storey half-timbered bay window projects above the eaves, featuring a tripartite window at ground level and decorative cement-rendered panelled surrounds at the first floor, topped with a piended roof and a gabled dormer at attic level. To the left, a flat-roofed timber bay with a stone base projects, containing a tripartite window. The north elevation has a single window at ground on the right and a narrow window to the right of centre on the first floor. The asymmetrical west (rear) elevation has a gabled, cement-rendered porch with a vertically-boarded timber door, a tall stair window above, and irregular window placement in the flanking bays. Modern glazing is throughout the building. The roof is piended, covered in purple-grey slate and has overhanging timber eaves supported by brackets. The stacks are of bull-faced sandstone with stugged ends, droved arrises, and are capped with moulded red circular cans.

An outbuilding, with a gabled form, is constructed of harl-pointed rubble with stugged and droved dressings. It has vertically-boarded timber doors— paired on the west elevation and centred on the north gable—and a purple-grey slate roof with ashlar skew copes and a central chimney. Random rubble boundary walls run along the south and west sides. A dwarf wall, surmounted by a polished ashlar saddleback cope and a decorative cast-iron railing with stanchions, runs along the front. The wall steps up to bull-faced gatepiers with saddleback caps. A vertically-boarded timber gate with slatted upper sections leads to the manse, while the dwarf wall to the south is terminated by a matching pier and gate.
