What is recorded here
Detached three-bay two-storey parochial house, built c.1870, with central single-bay single-storey entrance porch to southeast (entrance) elevation. Hipped natural slate roof having two central brick chimneystacks and overhanging eaves supported on terracotta brackets. Coursed rubble limestone walls, originally rendered (recently removed to front elevation). Cement rendered walls to porch with terracotta brackets over. Shallow segmental headed window openings with moulded cement architraves and brick dressings. One-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows to first floor openings and to porch, replacement windows to ground floor. Segmental-headed doorcase behind porch with timber glazed doors. Set back from road with rendered wall and cast-iron gates to front (southeast). Located to the northwest of Moyvore Village, adjacent to St. Oliver's Roman Catholic chapel (15401708).
A well-proportioned late nineteenth-century parochial house of simple form and appearance. This modest structure is enhanced by the survival of many original features and materials such as the timber sliding sash windows, the terracotta eaves brackets and by the early cement architraves to the window openings. The integrity of this structure has been diminished by the removal of the original render and by the replacement of the ground floor windows in recent years but this building retains its traditional character. It forms an attractive pair of structures with the associated Roman Catholic chapel (15401708) to the east. The good cast-iron gates to the southeast complete the setting.
