Description
Priory House at Worcester Royal Grammar School is a house that dates back to around 1730 and has undergone later additions and alterations. It incorporates parts of the 13th-century chapel of the Cistercian Nunnery of Whiteladies, which was previously located on the site. The building is constructed of red brick with stone detailing and features a plain clay tile roof. It has a timber doorcase, canopy, and brackets.
The house has two storeys, a cellar, and attics, with five first-floor windows. The brick detailing includes a plinth and a plain eaves band topped with dentils. The stone detailing features fluted keystones with moulded caps above the window heads and sills. The windows are all 6/6 sashes with near-flush frames set under gauged brick flat arches. The entrance has a six-panel door with a three-light overlight, framed by a simple doorcase and a flat canopy supported by shaped brackets. There are three dormers with cambered roofs, each containing 3/3 sash windows.
Inside, the building retains a staircase with a wreathed handrail that has unusual 'S'-curved ramps, along with slender turned balusters that have knops. Some of the upper floors feature two-panel doors.
