Former manse, still in residential use, built originally in the 18th Century, and extended a number of times in 19th Century. Each significant building phase from 1766, 1839 and 1860 can be read in the exterior and plan form and this gives this former manse interest within its building type. The building has not been significantly altered since the front elevation was added in 1860 by the prominent Aberdeen architect, William Smith. It is a two-storey harled manse with a three-window front, granite margins and a heavy Tudor hood mould to the door. Against the southeast corner of the manse there is a granite cheese press. There is also a granite hand mill to the left of the main entrance. The interior, visited by HES in 2018, retains features from each period building. Within the landscaped grounds of the manse is a small outbuilding/steading to the north fo the manse itself (not included in listing). The former manse of St Fergus previously served as the house of the minister of the parish church of St Fergus (NK05SE0007), which survives to the southeast. The parish church of St Fergus dates to 1616 when it was built to replace the medieval church of Inverugie at St Fergus Links.
