Description
Priory Cottage is a house dating from around 1670, with alterations and extensions made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed from flint and red brick rubble, featuring red brick dressings, and is topped with handmade red plain tiles. The building has a three-bay and chimney-bay layout facing northeast towards the entrance of Colne Priory. An early 19th-century L-shaped extension to the southwest projects forward towards Upper Holt Street.
The cottage is two storeys high, with a northeast front that includes a four-window range of 18th-century sashes with glazing bars and segmental heads; three of these windows are now blocked and painted to resemble sashes, while there are two 20th-century casements. The original entrance features 18th-century double doors, and the roof is hipped. The early 19th-century extension, which has a gabled front facing the street, contains one original sash window with thin glazing bars and a gauged brick arch on the right side.
A linking range features a colonnade of four timber posts with central glazed double doors and a blocked window opening above. Inside, there are 17th-century stop-chamfered beams and joists, as well as a 17th-century side-purlin roof. The property also contains internal doors from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.
