North Outbuilding, Manse, Sandwick

The Manse in Sandwick, designed by John Davidson and Thomas Macfarlane in 1830, is a single-storey, five-bay symmetrical 'Parliamentary' Manse in an H-plan layout. The exterior features harled walls with droved ashlar dressings along the margins and a partially exposed flagstone rubble base course.

On the principal elevation facing east, there is a modern timber door located in the central bay, with regular fenestration in the flanking bays and in the advanced outer bays. The south elevation presents a near-symmetrical three-bay layout, featuring regular fenestration in the centre and left bays, while the right bay remains blank. The west elevation, or rear, has a single window to the right of centre, with the elevation advanced at both the right and left sides, and includes later lean-to additions on the left and in the re-entrant angle on the right.

The building has modern glazing throughout and a purple-grey slate piended roof with overhanging timber eaves and a clay tile ridge. There are two square harled ridge stacks with moulded copes and circular cans.

Flanking the west garden are a pair of harled, rectangular gabled outbuildings, with a stone dated 1894 built into the east gable of the southern building and vertically-boarded timber doors. The boundary walls consist of flagstone rubble walls to the north and south of the house, and a wall connecting the outbuildings and enclosing the yard to the north. To the east of the house, there is a dwarf wall topped with a modern concrete cope and railing, while a rubble wall encloses the garden to the east. Additionally, a cement-rendered gable of a former summerhouse survives at the centre of the east wall.
