Statement of Interest

A good example of a traditional 18th century manse with adjoining farm buildings. The manse retains much of its original architectural character, despite later additions which have not significantly detracted from the general plan. The manse was built over an existing house; the single storey addition to the E with later canted dormers demonstrates early to mid 18th century margins (possible evidence of the earlier building). SAS notes improvements to the manse in 1791. Heritor Records note the addition of storm windows and external porch in 1861 probably referring to the changes made to the principal elevation which include the dormers, the bipartite widows and the new doorpiece. Early 20th century additions were executed within the corner of the E wing to form an additional floor and separate flatted accommodation.
