Appraisal
The form of this presbytery is typical of nineteenth-century domestic architecture. It is distinguished further by the pedimented breakfront and ornate porch, which adds artistic interest to the façade. Features such as the slate roof and limestone sills help to conserve the original appearance and character of the site.
