Description
Detached three-bay two-storey parochial house, built c.1869. Hipped slate roof with ridge cresting and red brick chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls with red brick string courses.

Appraisal
This parochial house was designed by William Hague for the Rev. Fr. Fulham. This house is enhanced by the retention of many original features and materials, such as the timber sash windows, red brick dressings, slate roof and ridge cresting. The house and related church were built on an archaeological site in the centre of Ratoath village which contains a motte and bailey.
