Description
Priory Cottage is a 18th-century building that was originally used as stables and features a loft above. The front is made of red brick and has a symmetrical design with half pediments on the one-storey side wings. The roof is hipped and covered with old tiles, featuring a corbelled cornice on the two-storey central section. The main block has rusticated brick quoins and a central door that is set under a round flush arch. There are two sash windows with glazing bars, and a modern door is located on the left side. Priory Cottage, along with Nos 1 and 2, forms a group.
