Priory House

Priory House is a house that has been divided, dating from around 1670 and extensively remodeled around 1710 with the addition of a rear range and changes to the windows. It is built of brick, which is whitewashed on the front, and has a roof made of black glazed pantiles. The main block is two storeys high and consists of five bays. The central entrance features a panelled door set in a rusticated doorcase with sidelights, keystones, and a pediment above. The ground floor is lit by early 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars and gauged skewback arches. There is a moulded platband at the first floor, where the upper windows are cross casements with leaded lights. The gabled roof has been rebuilt with internal gable-end stacks, and the east gable was formerly shaped, with the shaping now only visible on the rear slope.

To the east, there is a two-storey extension from the 18th century, also built of whitewashed brick, which has three bays. The ground floor features three renewed 2-light cross casements, while the first floor has one. The gabled roof of this extension includes an early 18th-century kneeler at the west gable head. The rear elevation is dominated by a three-storey, two-bay hipped block located right of centre, which is lit by sashes with glazing bars in exposed boxes. A three-bay block to the west has various sashes and a French window.

Inside, the entrance hall leads to a staircase hall through a round arch supported by fluted pilasters. The staircase hall is an addition to the original front range and features an open string staircase with three twisted balusters on turned bases for each tread, a moulded wreathed handrail, and a panelled dado. The first-floor landing has a second four-centred arch leading to the former drawing room, and the first-floor windows have ovolo moulded interior jambs. The east room on the first floor has three bridging beams with sunk quadrant mouldings and jewel stops, along with a plain shouldered chimneypiece. The ground floor east room is accessed from the entrance hall through a panelled door with a shouldered surround and features large-frame panelling and fluted pilasters on either side of a blocked fireplace.
