Hipped slate roofs on an E-shaped plan with terracotta ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stacks, rooflight, and cast-iron rainwater goods on overhanging timber eaves having consoles. Flat roof to porch not visible behind parapet. Painted rendered, ruled and lined walls with rendered channelled piers to corners (including to porch having moulded course supporting cut-stone coping to parapet). Camber-headed window openings (square-headed window openings to rear (north) elevation and to return) with cut-stone sills, rendered surrounds (no surrounds to rear (north) elevation or to return), and one-over-one timber sash windows (one having margins to rear (north) elevation with stained glass panels). Round-headed door opening with two steps, rendered surround, replacement panelled pilaster doorcase, 2003, and replacement timber panelled door, 2003, having overlight. Set back from line of road perpendicular to road with unpainted roughcast boundary wall to perimeter of site.
A well-appointed middle-size parochial house of compact appearance incorporating elegant details including a variety of profiles to the window openings, refined dressings, and so on all of which enhance the architectural design value of the composition. Having been very well maintained the house presents an early aspect with most of the historic fabric surviving intact including an appealing stained glass panel of some artistic design merit.
