Description
St Patrick's Presbytery is a former terrace house built between 1791 and 1793. It is constructed of stock brick with a stucco ground floor and features a slate roof. The building has four storeys and a basement. The doorway to the left includes a panelled door with sidelights and a radial glazed semicircular fanlight above, while the right side has plain recessed glazing bar sashes. The upper floors are adorned with recessed glazing bar sashes set within shallow early 19th-century stucco architraves. A parapet with coping tops the building, and there are wrought iron ornamental bowed balconettes on the first floor. The original area railings feature urn finial standards. At the rear, there is a slightly bowed window wall.
Inside, the interior remains largely intact, showcasing a semicircular archway that opens from the hall to the staircase, which is made of timber and features a geometric design. The main rooms exhibit restrained enrichment, with marble chimney pieces on the ground floor and a wooden chimney piece in the first-floor rear room, elaborately composed with slender Corinthian columns and an enriched frieze with relief carvings on the tablet blocks.
