Description

Stella Maris Convent is a two-story house with a service block to the west, constructed from brown stone in shallow courses and featuring modern tiled hipped roofs. The entrance front faces roughly northeast and consists of three bays with three windows. It has bracketed eaves, and the outer windows are situated between pairs of ashlar pilaster strips, with the outer pilaster strips set back from the block's angles, which are quoined. The first floor has three rectangular windows, with a string course at sill level and ashlar panels between the first and ground floor windows.

A broad open flat-roofed porch features a cornice and Doric columns, with pilasters at the rear, a round-arched doorway, double-leaf glazed doors, an overlight, and a window on each side, with the left window adapted as a door. The service block to the west is slightly lower and has a slightly recessed bay with a window on each floor, followed by three first-floor windows. On the ground floor, there is a window between two round-arched openings, a door with a voussoir head, and an additional round-arched opening.

The east elevation has a deeply projecting bay with a first-floor window to the front and right, two windows to the right, and one to the left, while the ground floor is obscured by a modern classroom extension. The south front features an asymmetrical three-window block with pilaster strips to the right; the first floor has rectangular windows, and the ground floor has slightly recessed arches with square voussoir-headed openings, along with modern glazing and doors. To the left, there is a slightly lower wing in a similar style.

The ground floor contains late 19th-century classicising interiors. The lobby has a glazed screen leading to the entrance hall, which is top-lit by an oval well. There is a 19th-century staircase and classical doorcases throughout. The lounge showcases Adamesque decoration, a plaster ceiling rose, a pierced cornice, a swag frieze, Adamesque wall treatment, a white marble fireplace, and classical doorcases. Some simpler interior details have survived despite the conversion and subdivision of rooms.
