What is recorded here
The Manse in the Liberties of Carlingford overlooks both village and harbour, which must have made missing church a delicate business. ‘Confined to bed, Reverend.’ ‘Under full sail?’
Detached T-plan three-bay two-storey former manse, built c. 1790, now in use as private house. Recent recessed two-bay two-storey extension to south gable. Pitched artificial slate roof with roughcast rendered gable chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings with replacement sash windows, 6 over 6 to ground floor, 3 over 6 to first floor. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door and flanking side lights. Rendered piers and sweeping walls flanking replacement double-leaf gates.
Set on an elevated site overlooking the village and harbour, this house is visible from many parts of the town. It retains much of its original form and proportions, and is of social, as well as architectural interest, as a former manse.
