Detached three-bay two-storey former convent laundry, built c.1850, abutted by three-bay single-storey extension with shop, forming an L-plan. Now used as shop. Set back from Wilmer Road. Pitched slate roof to single-storey with rendered chimneystack and cast-iron vent. Pitched tiled roof to two-storey eastern bay with roof lights. Rendered plinth and walls with new timber shopfront to western bays. Tripartite pointed-arched timber windows within square-headed opening to eastern bays with painted sills. Replacement uPVC windows to single-storey structure. Modern square-headed door opening with timber panelled door within shopfront.

This structure has been renovated to accommodate its current use as a Saint Vincent de Paul premises. As such its architectural character has been changed. However it retains certain notable elements including Gothic influenced triple-light windows. Its former function as a convent laundry is of social and historical interest within the town. Plaque to wall reads: 'Ozanam House St. Vincent de Paul officially opened by Monsignor Patrick J. Hamell P.P.V.G. 17th March 1996'.
