Description

Priory Farmhouse, located on Bridge End, is a farmhouse that dates back to the 12th century, with later additions from the late 17th century, early and late 19th century, and the 20th century. The building is constructed from limestone ashlar, coursed limestone rubble, and red brick, topped with pantile double ridge roofs featuring stone-coped and brick-coped gables and brick gable stacks.

The farmhouse is two stories high and consists of a three-bay main house with a basement and garret on the left, alongside a single bay to the right that has a single storey and attic, plus a long single-storey range beyond. The main range features a central doorway with a segmental head, an overlight, and a panelled door, flanked by two 12th-century corbel heads. To the left, there is a three-light 17th-century mullion basement window with casements, which has red brick patching beneath it. Above, there is a three-light 17th-century mullion window with casements, and to the right, a large three-light late 19th-century casement window with a single transom and segmental head.

Above the doorway, there is a glazing bar casement with a segmental head, and to the left, another three-light 17th-century mullion window with casements. To the right, there is a small 20th-century fixed window with a wooden lintel, followed by a large three-light late 19th-century casement window with a single transom and segmental head. The lower bay to the right features a single three-light sliding sash window with a wooden lintel. There is also a flat-headed dormer window above with a two-light casement.

In the long low range to the right, there is a fixed glazing bar window, with a doorway beyond that has a wooden lintel and a plank door. The south side of the main range was rebuilt around 1800 in red brick, featuring ashlar quoins and a first-floor brick band. The central doorway has a late 19th-century gabled brick porch with a semi-circular headed opening, leading to an inner doorway with an overlight and panelled door. The porch is flanked by two semi-circular 20th-century bay windows, each with six narrow casements. Above, there are three glazing bar sashes with segmental heads. The interior of the farmhouse is noted as being of no particular interest. The stone used in the construction has been re-used from Horbling Priory, which was formerly located a few hundred yards to the south.
