Description
St Bartholomew's Priory Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the mid to late 16th century, with alterations and an extension added in the late 19th century. The building features a render over a timber frame and has a gabled roof covered with plain old tiles, along with brick stacks at the ends and ridge. It has a three-unit plan typical of 16th-century houses and stands two storeys high with a five-window range. The windows have flat rendered arches and are late 19th-century casements with glazing bars. There is a jettied and slightly projecting gable on the second bay from the right, and a lean-to porch with a reset mid-18th-century panelled door that connects to the gabled bay on the left, which is accompanied by a further late 19th-century extension. The rear elevation features late 19th-century tripartite sashes and casements, along with three mock half-timber gabled bays. Although the interior has not been inspected, it is noted to contain cased beams and other interesting features. The farmhouse is built on the site of a former cell or grange of the Benedictine Westminster Abbey and was likely constructed as a farmhouse soon after the Dissolution in 1538.
