Detached three-bay two-storey house, c.1900, possibly originally presbytery on a symmetrical plan with single-bay single-storey flat-roofed projecting porch to centre ground floor. Part refenestrated, c.1975. Hipped slate roof with decorative terracotta ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Flat concrete roof to porch. Painted roughcast wall to front (south) elevation with rendered strips to ends, rendered walls to porch, and rendered, ruled and lined walls to remainder. Square-headed window openings with concrete sills, and one-over-one timber sash windows having replacement timber casement window, c.1975, to porch. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door having sidelights. Set back from road in own grounds with rusticated rendered piers having roughcast panels, profiled cornices supporting capping, iron double gates, painted roughcast panelled curved (S-plan) flanking walls having rendered coping, rendered panelled outer piers with profiled cornices supporting capping, and rendered boundary wall having rendered coping.

A pleasantly-composed house of modest architectural design aspirations retaining the essential characteristics together with substantial quantities of the historic fabric, thereby making a significant contribution to the streetscape value in the centre of Glenmore. Possibly originally intended as a presbytery on account of the position in close proximity to the Catholic church (12404104/KK-41-04) the house remains an important element of the architectural heritage of the locality.
