The Old Convent

A 3-storey 3-bay late Victorian classical house. The lower storey is rusticated ashlar, and above a billeted cornice, the upper storeys are coursed rock-faced Pennant sandstone with lighter ashlar dressings and rusticated quoins. A hipped slate roof has a projecting eaves on corbels and plain cornice. The R side has 2 ashlar stacks, the L side a single stack. Windows are mainly 2-pane sashes. The central doorway has 2 pairs of Corinthian columns supporting the entablature, and a half-glazed door with plain overlight. Above it is a keyed segmental window in an architrave with a segmental pediment on consoles, with relief-moulded tympanum. The outer bays have 2-storey canted bay windows, which have Corinthian pilasters at the angles in the lower storey. The windows have segmental-headed lights with keystones and the window lower L retains the stained glass window of a former chapel. Both bays have an open balustraded parapet. The upper storey has 5 windows in eared architraves with key stones, comprising a 2-pane sash window to the centre, and cross windows R and L.

The L side wall is of Pennant sandstone with rusticated quoins. It has openings offset to the L side, comprising 2 segmental-headed sash windows in the lower and middle storeys, separated by an ashlar band, a triple sash window in the upper storey with segmental-headed lights. A rear wing is lower. A YMCA building is attached to the R side (formerly part of Our Lady's Convent School).
