Standing Building Recording (19 October 2021)
NT 69193 61943 A basic historic building survey was carried out of the Old Manse and associated bothy in Cranshaws in the Scottish Borders prior to development.
The Old Manse is a mid-late 18th-century former clergy house associated with the adjacent parish church at Cranshaws. It replaced an earlier building on the site and probably incorporated this earlier fabric within its build. To expand the rooms inside the house, later additions were made to the rear wing, which was also possibly raised at some point to incorporate a larger first floor. The adjacent bothy may well be contemporary with the building of the present house, or soon after, and has retained its cobbled flooring throughout. Changes of use and function through the building’s life meant that inserted windows were placed in the N and W elevations and another window blocked to the W elevation.
