Appraisal
This parochial house, set on an elevated site overlooking the village, is of social importance in Rossinver due to its association with the church. As it is the largest structure in the village, it is dominant within the landscape. Its modest architectural form is enhanced by the retention of many features and materials such as the three-over-three timber sash windows, doors and gate. The outbuilding adds character to this formally-designed structure.
