Detached three-bay two-storey manse, "secured" 1872, on a T-shaped plan centred on single-bay single-storey gabled projecting porch to ground floor. Occupied, 1901; 1911. Reroofed, ----. Replacement pitched artificial slate roofs including pitched (gabled) artificial slate roof (porch) with ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stacks having corbelled stepped stringcourses below capping supporting terracotta or yellow terracotta octagonal pots, and uPVC rainwater goods on box eaves. Rendered walls with rusticated rendered quoins to ends. Segmental-headed central door opening with concealed dressings framing replacement timber panelled door having overlight. Square-headed window openings with cut-limestone sills, and concealed dressings framing two-over-two timber sash windows having part exposed sash boxes. Set back from road in landscaped grounds.
A manse representing an integral component of the later nineteenth-century built heritage of north County Mayo with the architectural value of the composition, 'a commodious [house] secured for [Reverend John Wilson (d. 1890)]' (Irwin 1890, 191), suggested by such attributes as the compact plan form centred on an expressed porch; the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated tiered visual effect; and the high pitched roofline. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding the character or integrity of a manse having historic connections with the Mullafarry Presbyterian ministry including Reverend George Clarke Love (1855-1929); Reverend Thomas Edwards (1860-1932), 'Presbyterian Clergyman' (NA 1901); and Reverend Robert Boyle (----), 'Presbyterian Clergyman' (NA 1911).
