Detached nine-bay two-storey former convent built c.1880, and now converted to apartments. The building is constructed in squared semi-coursed basalt rubble with straw coloured brick dressings. To either side is a projecting hipped roof square bay in symmetrical arrangement. To the south is a chapel addition dating from the 1930s while to the rear north is a very long return. The panelled front door with plain fanlight is set within a semi-circular headed opening with a broad surround and keystone. The door is within a projecting two-storey gabled bay which is surmounted by a small stone Celtic cross. Window openings to ground floor are semi-circular headed with segmental-headed one over one uPVC frames while to the first floor window openings are generally segmental-headed with frames as before. The pitched roof is finished with artificial slate and has cast-iron rainwater goods. Chimneystacks are rendered and have corbelled caps and clay pots. The building is slightly set back behind wrought-iron railings with square pillars and the former small garden is now in use for car parking.
