Description
Old Priests House is a house that likely dates back to the late 16th century and consists of various builds. It is constructed from rubble with ashlar quoins and features a stone tiled roof with coped gables and large stepped stones at the gables. The long main facade has one and a half storeys. On the left side, there is one bay that includes a door on the left and a two-light stone mullioned window with a dormer above. It has a gable and an axial stack. To the right of this bay is a full-height ashlar gabled bay window, which has a canted mullioned bay on the ground floor and an upper gable that is corbelled out above it, containing a three-light mullioned window. Further along, there is a change in the wall line and type of masonry, with rubble and a flat ashlar string course. This section also has one and a half storeys, dormers, and two ground floor windows, one of which has been renewed. There is a doorway to the right and buttresses on this section of walling as well as on the rear wall, which is built into the slope and forms the boundary of the churchyard.
