Description

Latton Priory Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 18th century, which has been extended with red brickwork featuring some blue flared headers. The building is constructed in English bond and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. It is oriented approximately east-west and has a southern aspect.

To the west, there is a one-storey extension with attics, built in red brickwork with Flemish bond, along with a single-storey bakehouse or brewhouse that has an end chimney stack. There is also a northern extension from the eastern part of the main house, which is roughcast rendered and consists of two parallel ranges with hipped roofs and a valley in between, dating from the 19th century. The farmhouse is two storeys high with attics.

On the south elevation, there is a six-panel door, where the upper four panels are glazed, sheltered by a shallow hood from the 20th century, with brickwork repaired above. The elevation features a range of three 18th-century casement windows with six lights each, and one four-light window above the door, all with segmental brick arches. In the eastern extension, there is a late 19th-century double-hung sash window with 20 lights. The building has a string course and dentils under the eaves, and a gambrel roof with two flat-roofed dormers in a steeper pitch.

Notably, there are some inscribed bricks near the base of the wall, including one marked "MD 1773," likely indicating an occupier from that year. Inside, there are plain chamfered transverse beams with simple concave stops, and an 18th-century staircase leading from the ground to the attic, featuring a Chinese-inspired simple geometrical pattern below the rail. The 18th-century casement windows are of exceptional interest, being a rare survival. Each frame is made of hardwood, with one hardwood casement, fixed lights, and casements, all complete with original saddle bars and rectangular panes supported in 13th-century lead cames. Windows of this type were common in their period but have typically been replaced by sashes or other later window types in other buildings.
