Appraisal
Applied render decoration, the canted bay window and irregular deep plan are all typical features of Victorian architecture. Recently restored, the use of timber sash windows enhances its form. Is contextualised by, and forms a pleasing small group with, the Church of Ireland church visible to north. Interestingly, both the Church of Ireland glebe and the Roman Catholic presbytery in the village were provided by Hudson Kinahan family of Glenville.
