Details Former manse and steading, still in use, depicted on OS historic maps. The earlier manse was rebuilt 1775 as a three-bay, two-storey house, with an entrance to the east facing the church, and walled garden. In 1834 William Robertson of Elgin was commissioned to enlarge the manse, and he added a classical 2-storey, 3-bay extension to the south gable of the old house. It was further enlarged in the 1870s with the addition of a new kitchen on the ground floor to replace that in the basement. Harled with granite ashlar margins, paired margined stacks, and piended slate roof with projecting eaves. The central entrance is in a slightly recessed pedimented bay. There is a later projecting porch with shallow gable and moulded cornice suggesting a pediment. Late narrow side lights (probably by A. Marshall Mackenzie, 1876) flank the entrance. There are simple granite aprons to the ground floor front windows, and 12-pane glazing. Internally there is a spacious 1834 entrance hall with staircase. To the east of the house is the steading, dating from 1769, comprising a small single storey east facing U-plan steading. It has a later garage entrance on the south wall. The roof is of graded Tomintoul slate replaces earlier thatch. It is directly to the South of Inveravon Parish Church (NJ13NE0027).
