Single-storey outbuildings, some with basement, to west and northwest, having pitched slate roofs.

Appraisal
A handsome former rectory or glebe house, given an imposing presence by the large centrally massed chimneystack. A similarity to the work of William Farrell is suggested by Rowan (1979). The rectory was built about ten years after the completion of nearby Saint Paul's Church (Raymunterdoney). The walled garden, remains of outbuildings and rubble stone boundary wall and piers complete the setting.
