A presbytery forming part of a group alongside a ruined church (see 21904611). The presbytery shows a compact rectangular plan and its central breakfront shows pointed openings mirroring the Georgian Gothicism of the adjacent church. The presbytery is substantially intact, although in poor repair, and the survival of sash windows and a natural slate roof contribute significantly to its character. There is much evidence that an historic interior also survives largely intact.
