Hipped artificial slate roof to porch. Painted lined-and-ruled rendered walls with quoins.

Forming part of the Convent of Mercy complex, this building was added to the site as part of the educational function of the order. Set perpendicular to a two-storey block, this section mirrors much of the larger scale block’s detailing, particularly evident in the round-headed openings, brick dressings and roof details.
