The Rectory in Cappalahan

Detached three-bay two-storey rectory, built c.1860, with return to west and mono-pitch two-storey extension to west. Gabled parapets to first floor windows and canted bay windows to ground. Later used as RIC barracks, now in use as private house. Pitched artificial slate roofs having rendered chimneystacks, that to south gable projecting. Rendered walls. Square-headed timber casement windows with sandstone sills. Square-headed front door opening with four-centred timber frame and glazed timber door, with sandstone steps and timber door with paned over-light to rear. Two storey outbuilding with rendered rubble walls, pitched slate roof with stone eaves course and square-headed openings, forming one side of yard to rear of house.

The form of this building is enlivened by the bay windows and first floor parapets. It retains its small panes in long narrow casement windows. A former rectory, it forms an interesting group with the Church of Ireland church across the road. Later used as a RIC barracks, this building has played a significant social role in the area.
