Description
Priory Farmhouse is a 16th-century building that features a timber-framed structure with roughcast exterior. It stands two storeys high and is topped with an old clay tile roof. The east front of the farmhouse has two projecting gables, while the west front includes a right-hand gable that oversails the first floor. There is a south wing that is set at a right angle to the main building and is slightly lower in height. This wing has been underpinned in brick, suggesting that it was originally jettied on the east, south, and north elevations. A south-facing chimney stack made of rubble is present, with ashlar offsets.
