Detached three-bay two-storey two-pile parochial house, built c.1870, with single-storey L-plan return to rear. Pitched slated roof with rendered chimneystacks. Full-height canted-bays to façade and west elevation. Ruled-and-lined render to walls with plinth course and quoins. Pointed-segmental windows to ground floor with shouldered-arched window surrounds to first floor. Replacement uPVC windows with stone sills.

Appraisal
This is a symmetrical and well-proportioned house. The combination of architectural motifs including pointed-segmental and shouldered-arched window openings is aesthetically appealing. Located in the grounds of the R.C. church, school and convent, this parochial house forms part of a group of structures of social, religious and historic significance.
