Description
Priory Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century. It is timber framed and plastered, with a pantiled roof. The building is designed in a two-cell, lobby entry style, with the left cell originally forming a cross-wing. It has two storeys and an attic, featuring two 18th-century three-light casement windows that were originally square-leaded, with ground floor windows that include a transom. The farmhouse has a gabled porch made of clay lump, which contains a plank door. The stack has a plain axial shaft, with the lower part made of narrow brick. There is a one-storey addition to the right that is largely from the 20th century.
Inside, the ceiling of the room to the left displays 17th-century plasterwork, featuring an ovolo cornice on each half, with Tudor rose and Fleur-de-lys motifs arranged symmetrically. There are back-to-back fireplaces on the first floor, each with four-centred brick arches. An oak newel stair leads to the upper level, and there are 17th-century cupboards beneath the lower flight that retain their original doors. The roof structure includes butt purlins, with the roof over the left cell being a later reconstruction from the 17th century.
