It is constructed of stucco and has two storeys with an irregular plan, featuring three advanced gabled wings. The building includes three sash windows with stepped lintels, one of which has an architrave with a cambered head, as well as three casement windows. The doorway is plain and is complemented by a gabled rustic wood porch. Additional architectural details include scalloped barge-boards, plain eaves, and parapets, along with an old tiled roof. The Priory is part of a group that includes the School House and Priory Cottage.
