Description
The Priory is a house dating from the early 19th century, constructed of red brick with a hipped plain tile roof and two lateral brick stacks. It features a dentil eaves cornice and stands three storeys tall. The south elevation is symmetrical with three bays and includes a central late 19th-century flat-roofed porch that has pilasters and a low parapet. The doorway has a wedge brick lintel, a panelled door, and a rectangular overlight. On either side of the doorway are glazing bar sash windows, also under wedge brick lintels. Above these are three similar but slightly smaller windows, and three even smaller windows above that. Inside, there is an open string stick baluster staircase and Adam Style chimneypieces in the ground floor rooms.
