Description
The Priory is a double-fronted villa dating from circa 1810-20, built in the Gothic style. It is three storeys high, with a two-storey entrance front and a north-side extension. The villa has three windows, with one window in the extension. The exterior is stuccoed brick, with turretted corners, some of which serve as chimneys. The parapets are mostly battlemented with central pierced decoration. The windows are square-headed and architraved, with two lights each, featuring hood moulds, and some lights with pointed arches. The south-facing return has splayed bay windows to the ground and first floors. A battlemented, projecting entrance portico is supported by corner buttresses, and the doorway has a pointed, moulded arch. The house gained notoriety when Charles Bravo died under mysterious circumstances in 1876, leading to a famous 19th-century murder trial.
