Detached three-bay two-storey former rectory, built c.1870, having gable-fronted porch to front (south). Later single-storey lean-to extension to side (east). Pitched roof extension to rear (north) with later lean-to extension to side (east). Now in use as house. Pitched slate roofs having rendered chimneystacks, overhanging timber clad eaves, timber bargeboards and cast-iron rainwater goods. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls with rendered decorative panel and projecting corbel supports to side (west) elevation. Square-headed window openings with stone sills throughout, having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door opening to porch having rendered surround and timber panelled door. Single-storey pitched slate roofed rubble stone outbuilding to rear. Set within own extensive grounds.
This former rectory has been well maintained and retains many historic features such as the timber sash windows, timber bargeboards and slate roof. The outbuildings and gardens add to its setting and context. It is a reminder of the fine housing which was built for Church of Ireland clergy in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
