This former glebe house displays features typical of late eighteenth- early nineteenth-century Georgian architecture. Features such as the subtly diminishing windows, simple proportions and fenestration rhythm are distinctive of the era. The sash windows and slate roof enhance the character of the site, which forms part of a group with the gate lodge and remains of the Church of Ireland church to the north.
