Colne Priory

Colne Priory is a house built in 1825 for Henry Holgate Carwardine, which incorporates remains of a mid-18th century house. It is designed in Gothick style, constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, and features a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. The building originally had an L-shaped plan facing southwest, with single-storey extensions to the southeast and northeast. It stands at two storeys tall.

The southwest front consists of two ranges; the right range has a steeply pitched roof, a parapet wall, and parapetted verges, while the left range features a simple parapet that rises at the corners, with low-pitched roofs behind. The window arrangement includes a 2:3 configuration of sashes with glazing bars, set within recessed 2-centred brick arches that have square heads. The windows in the left range have 2-centred heads with decorative glazing bars. A large 2-centred arch serves as the entrance, and the chimney pots are white and cream, designed as 16th-century grouped decorative shafts.

On the northwest elevation, there is a small tower with sashes that have square heads and 2-centred drip-moulds on gauged brick arches, topped with a crenellated parapet. A projecting full-height bay features an arcaded ground floor with 2-centred arches and string courses. A late 19th-century extension includes large original casements with 2-centred heads. The site was previously occupied by a Benedictine Priory.
