OUTSIDE The main section of the tarmacaddamed driveway was resurfaced by the present owners in recent years. The tarmacaddamed driveway sweeps to the front of the house and also continues past the back door to the north end of the garden where there is a range of former agricultural buildings that would have been needed when the incumbent Ministers used to farm the surrounding glebe. The central section has previously been removed but there remains the large garage, large store (former byre), and end “stable”, all stone built under a tiled roof. In addition, there is a large semi enclosed area with a concrete base partly roofed to form a car port, useful also for the storage of logs. A pedestrian door gives access through to the main garden. NOTE: The present proprietors did make preliminary enquiries through their Architect about the possibility of converting this range of buildings to residential purposes and while this was not proceeded with, it is thought that it would be reasonably easy to do so. GARDEN The garden area is well laid out. By the drive there are grass areas well planted with spring bulbs and honeysuckle. The main lawn in front of the house is bordered by a mature shrub bed that again connects through to a more extensive garden area incorporating a large vegetable plot and ornamental shrub beds. Along the north gable, by the Conservatory, there is a good level area of lawn, ideal for summer recreation, bordered by perennial shrub beds. To the west of the outbuildings, there is a further area of grass culminating in a raised concreted area, formerly the site of a greenhouse. The field surrounding the Manse belongs to the Church of Scotland as Glebe and a narrow strip of ground separates the Manse’s garden from the separate orchard at a lower level. There is a right of access from the Manse to the orchard which is presently laid out simply to grass, but some young fruit trees have once again been reinstated. Much more could be made of this area for the enthusiastic gardener and it would easily accommodate polytunnels. BURDENS The Council Tax Band relating to this property is “G” SERVICES The subjects are served by mains water and mains electricity.
