The Priory

The Priory is a house with various builds mainly from the 17th and 18th centuries. It is constructed of coursed rubble and ashlar, topped with Collyweston stone slate roofs, featuring coped gables and ashlar ridge and end stacks. The garden front showcases the earliest range on the right, which is dated 1602 above the entrance in the gable end. This section is two stories high with two windows, partly obscured by a conservatory. It includes a door and a first-floor stone mullioned window with four round-headed lights to the left. The gable end features a two-light ovolo-moulded stone mullioned window with a cornice above.

To the left of the original house is an 18th-century range, which is divided into two parts, both made of ashlar and two stories high with attics. The first part, which is two windows wide, continues the line of the original house, while the second part is slightly recessed and raised. This section has five first-floor windows and four ground-floor windows, with the rightmost window featuring Gothic tracery within a quarter-round porch, likely a later addition, that connects the two parts. The other windows are sashes within raised architraves with keystones, and there is a band below the first-floor windows.

The rear elevation of this block has rusticated quoins and sash windows within moulded architraves with triple keystones. The street front is dominated by two coped gabled wings with end stacks. The left wing is made of rubble and has a datestone from 1618, while the right wing is made of ashlar and features a datestone from 1663, along with two 19th-century T M window openings, one of which has a mullion and transom. To the right, there is a parapeted 19th-century block, which is partly recessed and includes a similar window, two sash windows, and a tall three-shaft chimney stack. Inside the 18th-century block, there is a panelled room with a ceiling featuring decorative plasterwork.
