Detached three-bay single-storey Church of Ireland rectory with half-dormer attic, begun 1914; dated 1914, on an L-shaped plan with single-bay full-height gabled projecting end bay. Extended, ----, to accommodate continued private residential use. Pitched slate roofs on an L-shaped plan including gablets to window openings to half-dormer attic, clay ridge tiles, quatrefoil-perforated timber bargeboards to gables on timber purlins with timber finials to apexes, and cast-iron rainwater goods on timber eaves boards retaining cast-iron downpipes. Fine roughcast walls. Central door opening into rectory. Square-headed window openings in bipartite arrangement (half-dormer attic) with concrete sills, timber mullions, and concealed dressings framing one-over-one timber sash windows. Square-headed window openings (remainder) with concrete sills, and concealed dressings framing two-over-two timber sash windows. Set in landscaped grounds.
A rectory representing an integral component of the early twentieth-century built heritage of Ballycarney with the architectural value of the composition, one succeeding temporary accommodations in the nearby Dell (see 15701514), suggested by such attributes as the deliberate alignment maximising on scenic vistas overlooking the River Slaney with its rolling backdrop; the compact plan form centred on a restrained doorcase; the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated tiered visual effect with the principal "apartments" or reception rooms defined by bay windows; and the decorative timber work embellishing a multi-gabled roofline. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding much of the character or integrity of a rectory making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene.
