Appraisal
The parochial house is a fine example of late Victorian domestic architecture. It is a well-designed building, articulated to present a decorative elevation to both the north and east, and, with the outbuildings, forms an attractive courtyard to the south-west. The architectural form and detail of the house are of interest, and it contains a large amount of original fabric.
