Appraisal
A handsome and well-proportioned structure which retains its original character. This building is of social interest due to its former use as a rectory. This rectory replaced an early rectory serving Delvin, which was sited to the north of the town in the townland of Clonarney. The fine carved gate posts and cast-iron gate are of artistic merit. The building is set in mature landscaped grounds to the south-east of the village and is an attractive feature in the landscape.
