The front faade of the former monastery residence is of significant architectural interest. This faade is listed as a protected structure within the Westport and Environs Development Plan 2010-2016.

It is an immensely attractive and imposing residence sitting on an elevated South West facing site. All bedrooms benefit from an uninterrupted view of Croagh Patrick. The interior design of the property incorporates stained glass windows, original parquet floors, and a feature staircase making it a particular attractive building for its time while retaining its uniqueness and in particular the oratory complete with altar and vestment press.
