Description
Priory House is a house built around 1835-1840, constructed of brick that has been sandblasted, with a hipped slate roof. The main block is two storeys high and consists of four bays, with a three-storey, one-bay block projecting to the northeast. The main block features casement windows with margin panes. In the third bay, there is a single-storey canted bay window topped with a modillioned cornice. The second bay contains a doorway with an inner painted stone or stucco surround featuring pilaster reveals, a recessed doorway, and an outer timber pilaster doorcase also with a modillioned cornice. A single chimney is visible behind the ridge. The left-hand return wall, which faces Holgate Road, has one bay and includes a ground floor sashed window without glazing bars and a first-floor sashed window. The three-storey block has one bay facing St Paul's Square, which features a blind window recess on the ground floor and a left-hand return wall with one bay. The interior has not been inspected.
