Clova, Brandyburn House (Former Manse)

Clova, Brandyburn House, also known as the former manse, was likely built around 1855, with some earlier elements and additions made in 1867. This two-storey building has three bays and features gabled dormers and tripartite windows on the south (front) elevation. The north (road) elevation has a prominent cat-slide roof, while there is a piend-roofed wing to the west. The structure is constructed of random rubble with red sandstone dressings and has raised margins around the windows and doors.

The principal elevation faces south and includes an off-centre timber panelled front door, a window to the left of centre, and tripartite windows with timber mullions in the outer bays. The first floor has a nepus gable at the centre, flanked by gabled dormers. The north elevation features a broad cat-slide roof with four modern rooflights, and a piend-roofed outshot with a timber-boarded back door to the right.

The windows are predominantly timber sash and case with four panes of glazing. The bargeboards are plain, and the gablehead stacks are rendered and coped, topped with yellow clay cans. The roof is covered with Welsh slate.

Inside, there is a curved timber staircase with a decorative cast-iron baluster. Most rooms have simple timber chimneypieces with cast-iron grates, and the interior doors are timber panelled.

To the north of the house, there is a former stable that has been modernised with a large porch and new windows.
