This former manse, built to serve Polwarth Parish Church, is situated 200m north-west of the church. It dates from the late eighteenth century, and was significantly altered in the early nineteenth.
To the north-west of the manse is a single-storeyed U-plan glebe steading. A square walled garden is situated to the south-west, and there is a terraced ha-ha to the front of the house.
