House, later becoming a parsonage, still in residential use and retaining its former parsonage name. It was probably built in the late 18th or early 19th century and probably altered in 1847 to become the parsonage for St Andrew's Episcopal Church (NO67NE0083) when it was built. The 1st edition OS map shows an L-plan building with a rectangular-plan building to the north and a garden enclosure to the west. On the 2nd edition OS map it has been extended to join the building to the north and it is first depicted as Fasque Parsonage. It is a simple two-storey, three-bay estate house with an axial driveway. A two-storey and cellar, piended house with two further piended bays at the rear and a gabled projection at the south-west links the former stable ancillary creating the current L-plan form. The house is constructed from large blocks of squared and coursed rubble with fine Aberdeen bond snecking and ashlar dressings, some droved, and there is a base course, chamfered arrises, keystones over ground floor south-east window lintels, projecting and raked cills, some bracketed, and 4-, 12- and 16-pane glazing patterns in timer sash and case windows. The roof has grey slates and a snow board to the south-east over the main entrance. The piended ranges have cavetto-coped and shouldered ashlar wallhead stacks and there is a coped ashlar gablehead stack and brick stack, all with cans. The principal elevation to the south-east has a modern, gabled timber and glass porch masking the two-leaf vertically-panelled timber door and three-part fanlight. There are tall windows in the flanking bays and regular fenestration with bracketed projecting cills close to the eaves at the first floor. The roofline to the north-east is stepped and the fenestration at the left reflects the principal elevation but with blinded windows at the outer left and a slightly set-back blank bay at right. The rear elevation (north-west) has a projecting range at the right and a piended centre bay behind a lean-to entrance. The broad piended elevation to the south-west has evidence of a former conservatory. Some early interior detail is retained including moulded cornices, timber shutters, boarded and panelled timber doors and timber fire surrounds. A right-angled staircase has plain ironwork balusters, a decorative ironwork newel post and curved handrail. There is a decorative two-leaf ironwork gate.
