Description
The Convent of St Mary is an early to mid-19th century house that stands two storeys high and features three windows. It is fairly tall and very wide, topped with a low-pitched, hipped slate roof that has deep panelled eaves soffits. The soffits also include large, paired mutules. The front of the building is stuccoed, with rebated angles and recesses at the centre, as well as segment-headed recesses for the ground floor windows. There is a plinth at the height of the cills. The sash windows have plain reveals and include glazing bars. Access to the building is via four steps leading to a door made up of six beaded panels, set within a moulded architrave that features a plain frieze and a moulded cornice above. A rectangular fanlight is positioned above the cornice, and the door recess is wide and deep.
