Description
The Priest House is a house located on Main Street in Lyddington, built in 1626 for Richard Rudd, the vicar. The building features coursed rubble construction with alternating bands of ironstone and pale limestone, while the left gable has been rebuilt in red brick. It has a Welsh slate roof and a brick chimney on the left side. The house is two storeys tall and consists of one bay.
On the ground floor, there is a narrow window to the right and a wider window to the left, both with ovolo-moulded stone surrounds and moulded cornices; the right opening was originally a doorway. These windows now contain 20th-century barred wooden casements with opening top-lights. The first floor has a central 4-light window with chamfered stone mullions and 20th-century glazing, along with a paired barred wooden casement inserted in the left side during the 20th century. To the right, there is an entry with a chamfered stone surround leading to a recessed 20th-century door. Additionally, there is a lean-to on the right with stone coping and a 20th-century casement. The house is said to contain a fireplace with a 4-centred stone arch.
