Description
Old Prior Manor and Prior Manor Cottage are a pair of houses dating from the mid-17th century, although the cottage contains some earlier fabric. The buildings have undergone alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. They are constructed from coursed rubble with roughly-shaped quoins, except for the cottage, which features massive squared quoins on the ground floor. The cottage porch is made of old brick with a squared stone front, and both buildings have Welsh slate roofs with old brick stacks. The house has a double-span design, with a late 18th or early 19th-century section at the rear, while the cottage has a rear outshut of uncertain date.
The south elevation is divided into two sections, each two storeys high and three bays wide. The house on the left has a 20th-century glazed door set in an old moulded surround with a flat-pointed head, sunk spandrels, and a hoodmould. It features 12-pane sash windows with tooled lintels and sills, along with traces of older openings nearby. The cottage on the right has a central porch with a boarded door in a chamfered surround, topped by a coped gable. It has paired 4-pane casements that were originally part of 2-light windows, with only the one above the porch retaining its mullion. These windows have recessed and chamfered surrounds and hoodmoulds. The house has coped gables and stepped-and-banded stacks at the ends and between the house and cottage.
The left side of the house shows a chamfered attic window, while the right side of the cottage features 6-pane casements, with the lower one leading to the stair and having old bars. There is also a blocked 2-light attic window and a 4-pane sash set in a chamfered opening of a former doorway into the rear outshut.
Inside, the house retains four original fireplaces, one of which is large, all with moulded surrounds, flat pointed arches, and sunk spandrels. The cottage has a boarded front door within the porch, featuring a flat-pointed head in a chamfered square frame, and simple 18th-century stone fireplaces. The kitchen ceiling in the rear outshut has stop-chamfered joists.
The property is also known as Prior Mains and was formerly the Corbridge Rectory, which was held by Carlisle Priory during the medieval period.
