Description

The Manse of St Magnus's Church in Tingwall is an early 19th-century building that underwent alterations in the late 19th century. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure with an asymmetrical design, connected by garden walls to an L-shaped steading to the east. The exterior features harled walls with droved sandstone ashlar dressings, including a base course, chamfered arrises, and sloping cills on the principal elevation's windows. The rear has margined windows and corners.

On the south (principal) elevation, the design is asymmetrical with a gabled bay that projects to the left. It has tripartite windows on both the ground and first floors, and a small pointed-arched window is centered in the gablehead above. There is a two-leaf vertically-boarded timber door with a plate glass fanlight set in a pointed-arched opening within a gabled porch at the center of the elevation, which also clasps the corner of the advanced bay. A window is centered above on the first floor, with a bipartite window at ground level in the bay to the right, and another window centered above that rises into a harled stone dormer head that breaks the eaves.

The west gable features a single window on the first floor to the right. The north (rear) elevation includes a vertically-boarded timber door with a two-pane fanlight to the left of center, with a window centered above it. There is a small window at ground level to the right of center, along with a large border-glazed stair window above. The outer bays exhibit regular fenestration.

On the east gable, there are windows on both the ground and first floors, and a single-storey, single-bay wing projects to the right of center. A modern flat-roofed addition is attached to the gable of this wing. The principal elevation has modern glazing, while the outer bays of the rear elevation retain 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with purple-grey slate and features cast-iron hoppers for the downpipes. Droved sandstone ashlar skew-copes with block skewputts are present, along with harled apex stacks on the principal gables that have circular cans and stone copes enlarged in concrete.

The boundary walls and gatepiers consist of a random rubble wall with a triangular cope that encloses the house on the north, east, and west sides, as well as the garden to the east. The entrance gate to the northwest of the house features cement-rendered and lined gatepiers with pyramidal caps, flanked by harled quadrant walls and matching outer piers.
