Description

The Church of Scotland Manse in Luss is an earlier 19th-century building with mid and late 19th-century additions. It is a two-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan manse constructed from droved squared and snecked sandstone rubble, featuring ashlar margins and dressings, a base course, an eaves cornice, and quoin strips.

On the south (main) elevation, there is a deep-set door at the center with a narrow lintel, a six-panelled door, and a plate glass fanlight above it, along with a window above the door. To the left, there is a square projecting bay at ground level with a tripartite window and a half-piend slate roof, plus a window above. To the outer right, there is a full-height canted bay with an ashlar blocking course.

The side elevation is rendered and features a late 19th-century ashlar canted oriel window to the outer left, supported by roll-moulded corbelling. There is a small window offset to the right in the gablehead.

The windows include plate glass and four-pane timber sash and case varieties, with small-pane upper sashes in the oriel. The roof is covered with graded grey slate and has lead flashings, along with broad corniced apex stacks topped with octagonal cans.

Surrounding the house is a high rubble boundary wall with slab coping.
