Manse, Drymen Parish Church And Churchyard, Main Street, Drymen

This is a circa 1860 manse, originally part of Drymen Parish Church and churchyard, extended to the north in the early 20th century. The building has an irregular plan, initially an "L" shape. The front (south) elevation features a projecting bay with a canted window and overhanging eaves supported by moulded brackets. The original western elevation is harled, while the rest is built from roughly coursed sandstone with sandstone ashlar dressings. Features include a base course, eaves band, vertical margins at the corners, and bracketed skewputts to the original part of the building. Windows are architraved with concave reveals, except on the north elevation.

The south elevation has a projecting gabled bay to the far left with a canted tripartite window on the ground floor and a window above. Two bays set back slightly to the right have windows on each floor; the ground-floor window in the right-hand bay is a mullioned bipartite style.

The east elevation also has a projecting gabled bay on the far left, containing two windows on the ground floor (one now blocked), and a blocked window centrally above. A porch with a piended grey slate roof and overhanging moulded eaves is set against the corner, and contains a replacement glazed timber door with a two-pane rectangular fanlight, with windows to either side and one above. A lower, single-bay addition from the early 20th century is set back slightly to the right, with windows on each floor.

The west elevation has a gabled bay to the right with a window on the first floor. To the left is a further bay with a window on each floor. A lower, single-bay addition from the early 20th century is set back slightly to the left, again with windows on each floor.

The north elevation is partially obscured by the early 20th-century addition; a door is located on the right with flanking narrow windows. A large studio window (inserted in the 1970s) rises the full height of the gable.

Most windows are 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The roofs are covered in grey slate, with gablehead stacks to the north, east, and west of the original section, and one ridge stack. All stacks are corniced except the western gablehead stack, which is coped. The western and northern gablehead stacks are harled and topped with octagonal cans.

The interior layout remains largely original, featuring panelled timber doors and a winding open-well staircase with a cast-iron balustrade.
