Dating to around 1835, it was the clergy house for the now-ruined and Category C listed St Colmac's Church, located about 600 feet (180 m) to the east, built around the same time.

[2][3] Both properties are believed to have been built by John Paterson, a "very able builder and skilled mason"[4] of Largs.

The interior includes a solid-fuel Rayburn range in the kitchen and a cantilever staircase leading up to the first floor.

In the back garden there are bedded stone footings of a rectangular building and yard wall.

Occupation of the farm ended shortly before the manse's construction.
