Former manse, now in residential use and named Rothes House, and steading, depicted on the 1st and 2nd edition OS maps. The house (manse) was built by William Robertson of Elgin in 1839, to a design by John Smith of Aberdeen, and was formerly the manse serving the Rothes Kirk (NJ24NE0014). It is a two-storey, irregular three-bay gabled house, constructed from mixed granite rubble with tooled sandstone ashlar dressings. It has a three-bay South front with a projecting gabled bay at the South-West, and a projecting single storey square porch masking the entrance in the re-entrant angle. It has a round-headed doorway and stepped parapet to the porch. A deeply chamfered South-West angle is at ground floor height only, and is faced with tooled ashlar sandstone. A further entrance is in the West garden front, and there is a rear service entrance. The first floor windows just break the wallhead under gables, with four- and twelve-pane glazing. There are coped end and ridge stacks and slate roofs. It has a simple interior, with a plain white marble chimneypiece in drawing-room and plain balusters to staircase. There are coped rubble garden walls to the West and South. Also known as The Grange. The rear steading/stable range is somewhat modified, with blocked doorways and a garage entrance in the East-facing gable.
