Description
The Priory is an early to mid-19th century Gothic villa situated on Belmont Hill. It is a two-storey building with a basement, originally featuring three windows, constructed of multicoloured stock brick. The roof is fairly low-pitched and hipped, covered in slate, and includes a gable over the slightly projecting central entrance bay. This bay features diagonal stepped, gabled buttresses at its angles, a cornice, and a battlemented parapet above. The entrance is accessed via a 4-centred gauged brick arch leading to a door of narrow panels. The windows are casement windows with glazing bars; those on the ground and first floors are set under hood moulds. Two chimneys are located on the right side, each with three decorative Doulton shafts. A set-back, two-storey extension with one window is located to the left and includes a modern oriel window on the first floor.
Local climate
The Priory sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 99% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 52% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
