Detached seven-bay two-storey building, c.1900, retaining most original fenestration. Part refenestrated, c.1950. Part refenestrated, c.2000. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, yellow brick Running bond chimney stack, timber bargeboards, and cast-iron rainwater goods on yellow brick eaves. Unpainted rendered walls with yellow brick piers, and quoins to corners. Square-headed window openings with stone sills, and yellow brick block-and-start surrounds. 2/2 timber sash windows with one replacement timber casement window, c.1950, and one replacement uPVC casement window, c.2000. Square-headed door openings with yellow brick block-and-start surrounds, and timber panelled doors. Set back from road in grounds shared with Saint Joseph’s House.

A modest but well proportioned, and attractively detailed building that retains its original form and massing, together with most of the important salient features and materials. The building forms an integral component of an almost entirely intact convent complex, and contributes to the group and setting qualities of the site.
