Toft Monks Priory

Toft Monks Priory is a house dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, featuring a stair turret that is dated 1546. The building is constructed of red brick, with roofs covered in pantiles and 20th-century plain tiles, hipped over the south range. It has an L-shaped plan and stands two storeys high with attics.

The most notable feature is the projecting 2.5-storey gabled stair turret on the south side, which has a ground floor sash window with glazing bars and a skewback arch, as well as first floor and attic windows that are ovolo moulded. The attic window is a 2-light design, while the first floor has a cross window. The gable features a parapet with a date tablet at its apex.

To the west of the stair turret, there are ground and first floor sash windows with glazing bars and rendered skewback arches. A door with six flush panels, a moulded architrave, and a canopy supported by console brackets is also present. The east side showcases a large external chimney stack with offsets and two linked square shafts. The west wall of the south range has four blocked window openings with chamfered reveals. On the north wall of the south range, there is a large external stack with offsets and two linked square shafts, along with a doorway at the northwest corner and a first floor cross casement window with leaded glazing to the east of the stack.

The north wing, likely refaced in the 18th century, is made of brick and features 2 and 3-light 19th-century casements with segmental heads on the ground floor. It has an off-centre axial stack and a north gable parapet with continuous tumbling-in. The attic has a 2-light casement with leaded glazing, while the ground floor door and casement are in reduced openings with segmental heads. The east wall of the north range has 3-light 19th-century casements and segmental heads on the ground floor openings, along with two blocked openings. There is also a doorway with a reeded architrave and corner paterae. The east wall of the south range features sashes with glazing bars and gauged arches over the openings, as well as a wooden eaves cornice with triple brackets. The interior has been significantly modernised.
