Appraisal
The regular form of this well proportioned parochial house is enlivened by fine architectural details such as the unusually decorative chimneystacks and eaves course. Although most of the windows have been replaced the retention of the stained glass window and round-headed window enhance the building. The cast-iron gate piers and railings and sandstone outbuildings contribute to the setting of the house.
