Gatepiers And Gates, Boundary Walls, Auld Kirk House (Former Free Church Manse) Including Walled Garden

The building is a former Free Church manse, constructed in 1861. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure with an M-gabled roof, located in a small group with the former Free Church. The exterior features ashlar stone with projecting cills on the south side and harl with stone margins on the other elevations. The first-floor window heads are pedimented and break the eaves, and the building retains fine original glazing and a largely unaltered interior.

On the south elevation, which is the principal façade, there is a symmetrical arrangement with a six-panelled timber door and a two-part fanlight in the central bay at ground level. Flanking bays contain windows, and there is regular fenestration on the first floor. The north elevation, or rear, has a three-bay layout with a later lean-to porch that obscures a door immediately to the left of the center at ground level, along with windows in the flanking bays and stone-pedimented windows in the outer bays on the first floor. The east elevation is a blank M-gabled wall.

Inside, the manse features a good decorative scheme with moulded cornices, timber fire surrounds (some with cast-iron grates), and a timber staircase that is top-lit by modern rooflights. The staircase has decorative cast-iron balusters, although these are replaced with plain balusters at the first-floor landing. The panelled doors are architraved, and the windows are timber sash and case with a 12-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar gablehead stacks with some cans, as well as ashlar-coped skews with moulded skewputts and cast-iron rainwater goods.

An ancillary building, which is single-storey, has a slate roof and is harled. It served as a former coach house, stable, and Sunday school, forming a courtyard with the east boundary of the walled garden and the north elevation of the manse. The interior retains timber trevises and a saddle tree.

The walled garden features high semicircular-coped rubble walls surrounding a rectangular plan to the west of the manse. The boundary walls are made of coped rubble, with square-section ashlar gatepiers and hoopwork iron gates to the south.
