Detached L-plan four-bay two-storey former rectory, built c.1820, having recent glazed porch to side (west), having renovated single-storey pitched roofed rubble stone addition to side (east). Now in use as private house. Hipped slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks, ceramic ridge tiles and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with stone sills and raised render reveals throughout, having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Replacement timber casement window to first floor of side (east) elevation. One-over-one pane timber sliding sash window to ground floor of side (east) elevation. Timber casement and fixed pane windows having rendered sills to porch. Round-headed door opening to interior of porch with glazed timber door and lead-lined stained glass fanlight. Square-headed door opening to conservatory with double-leaf glazed timber doors. Rubble stone outbuildings to side (east) including single-storey pitched roofed stable. Rubble stone garden walls to side (east). Extensive gardens to side (east) and front. Set within own grounds.

A well-maintained former rectory which was once the residence of the minister of Templebreedy Church. Clearly a high status house, it is set adjacent to Crosshaven House and has fine ocean views and extensive gardens. The symmetrical façade and hipped roof are typical features of the middle sized Irish houses of the nineteenth century.
