This substantial former parochial house is typical in style and form of such structures in Ireland. The classical façade is enlivened by the porch and the bay window, which are later additions. The quoins articulate the form of the house. The building retains notable features such as the slate roof and timber sash windows. The former parochial house forms part of a group with the Roman Catholic church to the south.
