Round-headed window opening to rear elevation with margined one-over-one timber sliding sash window having stained glass and painted stone sill. Timber shutters to window opening interiors. Square-headed door opening to interior of porch with timber panelled door and overlight. Rubble stone outbuilding to south.

An attractive prominently sited house retaining its simple character and form and functioning as a rectory to the nearby Church of St. Matthias. The retention of well executed timber sash windows adds character and maintains the proportions of the façade. Located on a hill, the grouping of the house and gates forms a pleasing feature in the local landscape.
