Description

The presbytery at St Mary's Convent Church is a late 19th-century building designed in the Gothic Revival style. It features coursed rock-faced masonry and a slate roof with gable ends and stone copings. The structure is a tall two-storey building with a basement, measuring three bays in length, and has a slightly projecting gabled bay on the left. A covered passage connects it to St Mary's Convent Church to the south.

At the southwest end, there is a flight of stone steps leading to a central entrance, which is adorned with a three-light fanlight set in a moulded architrave. Above this entrance is a three-light ogee-headed window, and in the gable, there is a tall narrow niche that holds a stone figure of the Virgin Mary. The side walls feature grouped lancet windows with transoms and cusped heads on the ground floor, including a canted bay on the left. The first floor has windows with stone mullions and four-centred arched heads. The front wall on the north side includes buttresses and a chimney that rises on the right, topped with stone chimney stacks that have grouped octagonal shafts. The interior has not been inspected.
