The Manse in Cloghmacsimon

Detached three-bay two-storey manse, built c.1880, having pair of gables and porch to entrance front and three-bay side elevation. Pitched slate roof with eaves corbels, rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Dressed sandstone walls with red brick dressings. Camber-headed openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Rendered entrance sweep with chamfered piers and paired wrought-iron gates.

Built in the latter part of the nineteenth century, this manse is an interesting reminder of the housing provisions which were made for Methodist clergy at that time. The sandstone and red brick add colour and textural interest to this handsome, irregularly designed building. It retains much of its historic fabric, including windows, slate roof and entrance gates.
