The Presbytery to the Roman Catholic Church of St Mary Immaculate

MATERIALS: constructed of squared Killas rubble stone with granite dressings and a dry Delabole slate tile roof with alternate crested clay ridge tiles.

The principal elevation (east) comprises pairs of eight-light sash windows to the ground and first floor with blind trefoils above and within a pointed arch dressed granite surround. There is a single window to the gable which has a blind trefoil above and is set within a round-headed dressed granite surround. To the south elevation is a set-back, lean-to entrance with a diagonal buttress and Gothic doorway. Behind is a one and half storey projection attached to the single-storey link. The rear elevation is arranged with a pair of sash windows to the ground and first floors, with a gabled dormer window to the attic. The right-hand part of the rear elevation is blank with a single-storey extension to the ground floor. The chimney stack is to the south gable of the rear range. The two stacks to the north elevation have been removed.
