Description
Hyning Priory is a country house that was newly built in 1809, with a right-hand wing added in the mid-19th century and a left-hand wing added in the mid-20th century. The building is constructed from sandstone ashlar, with stuccoed wings and artificial stone dressings on the left-hand wing. It features a slate roof and a central symmetrical block that has three bays and two and a half storeys, complete with end stacks and chamfered quoins. The porch, made of artificial stone, displays a carved coat of arms.
The ground floor windows are tripartite sashes with glazing bars, flanked by pilasters and baseless Tuscan columns acting as mullions. The first-floor windows are similar but have plain stone surrounds. Above the porch, there is a central window with glazing bars in a plain stone surround. The attic windows have plain ashlar reveals and fixed lights with glazing bars. The outer windows are blank, topped with a cornice and parapet, while the central window features a semi-circular head beneath a small pediment.
The flanking wings have hipped roofs with overhanging eaves supported by square brackets. The right-hand wing includes a tripartite sashed window with glazing bars in a plain stone surround on both floors. The left-hand wing has tripartite sashes that are mid-20th century copies of the central block's windows, complete with Tuscan columns and pilasters. To the left of this wing, there is a surviving facade of an original pavilion, likely one of a pair that once flanked the main block. This pavilion features a large blank tripartite window with a plain stone surround, a string course with a blank Diocletian window above, and cyma moulded coping to the pediment.
The interior has been significantly altered in the mid-20th century, with re-used panelling in the left-hand wing and a staircase featuring an open string, barley-sugar balusters, and a ground-floor newel designed as a Corinthian column.
