Description
Priory Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, likely refaced in the 18th century and restored in the 20th century. It is built with timber framing, with the exterior largely refaced in red brick and partly in coursed rubble stone. The roof is covered in Welsh slate, with a brick ridge stack positioned towards the right-hand side. The front elevation has two storeys with five horizontal sliding sash windows across the first floor and five across the second. The ground floor has a three-light window to the left, followed by a two-light, then a three-light, a doorway with a flat, bracketed canopy over the door, and finally another three-light window. Ground floor windows have cambered lintels. Four wall posts are visible externally. Inside, the house features chamfered beams, a probably reset stone four-centred arched fireplace, and a restored roof consisting of a four-and-a-half bay single purlin cambered tie-beam truss with queen posts and some windbraces.
