Appraisal
This large parochial house, still in its original form and retaining its timber sliding sash windows, has a pleasing historic appearance. Its grandeur is accentuated by the raised site, which allows it to make a contribution to the surrounding area. The retention of the original boundary walls helps to frame and define the original layout.
