Description

Priory Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the early to mid-18th century, with later additions from the late 19th to early 20th century. It features coursed squared sandstone, some large stones, and ashlar dressings, along with render. The roofs are made of Welsh slate and French tiles, and there are stone gable copings and chimneys made of ashlar, render, and brick. The building is arranged in an L-plan and consists of three sections: the main house on the left is two storeys high with two bays, the left addition has three bays and is taller with two storeys, and there is a one-storey, three-bay extension on the right.

The main house has a partly-glazed central door framed by an architrave, with plain stone surrounds for the sash windows that feature vertical glazing bars in the outer bays. The gable copings are supported by wide moulded kneelers, and there are rendered, corniced end chimneys on ashlar plinths. The left rear wing is gabled. The central part of the building has a blocked door on the left, with a 4-pane light inserted under a flat stone lintel, and square late 19th-century sashes on the right under flat stone lintels. The steeply-pitched roof has a higher right gable and a chimney at the right end. The right extension features a central late 19th-century sash window and a chimney at the right end.

Inside, some ground-floor rooms have stop-chamfered beams, and the ground-floor room in the rear wing contains fielded panelling and a corniced chimney piece.
