Greystones
The first Church manse was located almost straight across the road from the Church. Known as the Greystones, this was the manse of Livingstone Church until 1953. It was a fairly large building and later became a hotel (The Greystones Hotel) before lying derelict and finally being demolished. The ground lay empty for several years until recently, when a new residential development was built on the site. The surrounding wall is all that remains from the original building.
High Road
After the departure of Mr. Nimmo in 1953, the Greystones Manse was sold. The new manse was further up the town, located at 32 High Road, and the first minister to live in the manse was Mr. Bisset. After the retiral of Mr. Lafferty in 2011 – and with an escalating repair bill – the decision was taken to sell the manse and buy a joint manse along with Ardeer Parish Church. 32 High Road was sold on 28th February 2013.
Priest Hill View
The manse was purchased by the two congregations in 2012. It is a detached villa in a new residential estate with an open aspect to the rear. Accommodation is on three levels and consists of a lounge, large open plan kitchen/dining room with French doors to an enclosed garden. The kitchen is fitted with built in electrical appliances and there is a downstairs toilet and garage. The first level has three double bedrooms, a study and a family bathroom while the top level consists of a large master bedroom, dressing room and an en-suite shower room and toilet. The house has easily maintained front and rear gardens, gas central heating and a security alarm.
