Set in grounds shared with Saint Patrick's Catholic Church, much of the original character of this substantial Victorian building has been maintained. Interestingly, this single building provides individual homes for several members of the clergy. The attractive asymmetry and decorative mouldings are typical features of its time. Features such as the bell pulls, cast-iron grates, timber sliding sash windows and timber panelled doors are noteworthy.
