Description

The Old Priest's House is a cottage dating to the early 17th century, with later alterations in the 20th century. It exhibits box framing construction, with intermediate rails and 20th-century brick nogging, and has pantile roofs. A partial brick plinth is present, along with a single ridge stack. The building is of single storey plus attics and has a T-plan. The windows are 20th-century glazing bar casements. The west front features an off-centre 20th-century lean-to porch, flanked to the left by a single casement and to the right by two casements. Above the porch and casements, a wall plate is inscribed with the date "1607", although the authenticity of this date is questioned. There is also a sloping dormer window above. The north gable features a jowled corner post and a casement window above. The south gable contains an arched tie beam, along with two casements on the ground floor and a single casement above. A rear wing to the south includes a French window and a casement. The rear elevation has a lean-to bay window and 20th-century window openings. To the right of the rear wing is a lean-to outbuilding, retaining part of a corner post and horizontal rail, with the remaining fenestration being 20th century. Internally, there is a re-set bressumer and span beam, along with a wall plate showing stud mortices.
