Square-headed window openings with stone sills, red brick block-and-start surrounds and timber casement windows.

Extension having pitched corrugated-iron roof, corrugated-iron and rubble stone walls, and timber windows and doors. Set within convent grounds and backing onto road.
Appraisal
Built in a similar style as the convent to the south-east, these unusual buildings may have been used for residential or workshop purposes. The buildings retain much of their original form and historic character, seen in the retention of slate roofs, stone sills, brick detailing, timber casements and timber battened doors. The terrace forms part of an interesting group with the convent and adds to its setting and context.
