Including Boundary Wall, The Manse, Crathie

The Manse in Crathie is a two-storey, three-bay double pile manse built around 1789 and later extended between 1866 and 1873. It features an L-plan with an earlier section to the north (rear) and is constructed from pink and grey coursed granite, with some harl on the west side. The building is located on the bank of the River Dee, within its original glebe, and is surrounded by a boundary wall. It has a base course and includes a low lean-to former dairy in the re-entrant angle to the north.

On the south elevation, there is a prominent near-central corniced porch with corner ball finials and a segmental arched entrance that contains a six-panel timber door. To the left, there is an advanced gable with a canted bay on both storeys, topped with a stone cross finial. The building features pedimented dormerheads and predominantly timber sash and case windows, with the earlier section having 12-pane windows and the later section mostly featuring 4-pane windows. Some tripartite windows with timber mullions are also present. The roof is covered with grey slates, and it has raised coped skews and skewputts, along with gable coped stacks and one ridge stack. The cast iron rainwater goods include some decorative hoppers, and there are tall slit windows on the former dairy, protected by wire mesh.

Inside, the original floorplan remains largely intact, retaining several original features such as six-panel timber doors, a classical marble chimney-piece, and a shallow tread stair with timber balusters and banister. The public rooms have simple cornicing, while the dairy at the rear features a flagstone floor and slate worktop.

The boundary wall surrounding the property is tall and made of rubble granite, topped with rubble coping.
