Prior's Gate House with Garden Wall

Prior's Gate House with Garden Wall is a former house that has been converted into three dwellings. The main part of the building dates from the 18th century, while the rear and entrance wings were added in the early 19th century. The main house is a reconstruction of a section that includes remnants of the former Bishops' Palace, but there are no visible medieval features remaining inside Prior's Gate House. The structure is built of red brick and features hipped roofs covered with Welsh slate, along with six prominent brick chimneys.

The garden front of the house is two and a half storeys high and has a regular five-window layout. It features a parapet with stone coping and a brick cornice band, as well as a sill band between the ground and first floors. The upper half storey includes three three-light and one two-light casement windows, along with two blocked windows, all set within elliptical arched recesses. The lower part has twelve-pane hornless sash windows in exposed frames, some of which are original, situated under depressed window arches. To the left is a later two-storey range that has one sash window on the ground floor and one blocked window above, which connects to form the current five-window entrance front facing east, where all but one window is a twelve-pane sash in an exposed frame.

The rear wing features a variety of sash and some casement windows. A central porch is notable for its random rubble ragstone wall, which rises to a shaped stone coping and incorporates a reused medieval four-centred arch. The attached garden wall, which has gabled coping, is included in this listing. It extends west as an 18th-century brick wall built on a rubble plinth, featuring a cogged course below the coping and two piers at a 19th-century gateway. This wall continues to serve as the garden wall for College Green and Southgate.
