Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystack. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls with render quoins. Square-headed window openings to ground floor having concrete sills and replacement uPVC windows. Segmental-headed windows to upper floor, with cut limestone sills and replacement uPVC windows. Round-headed openings to single-storey extension with concrete sills and replacement uPVC windows. Blind square-headed openings with render surrounds to south-east elevation. Rendered portico to front elevation comprising columns supporting entablature with square-headed opening having timber panelled double-leaf doors. Cut limestone steps to entrance. Outbuilding to rear comprising pitched artificial slate roof, rubble stone walls and timber battened doors.

Substantial parochial house of elegant proportions, surviving largely intact in its original form. The decorative render portico and flight of cut limestone steps provide an interesting and imposing entrance. Set back from the road, it, together with its accompanying outbuilding, forms a pleasant feature in the landscape on the outskirts of Cloyne.
