Description
The Priory is a house built in the early 19th century. It features a stucco exterior and a hipped slate roof with two later stacks at the back. The building has two storeys and is three bays wide, with glazing bar sash windows. On the ground floor, there are two canted bays that include pilasters and deep eaves. A porch leads to the central door, which is flanked by fluted Doric columns and pilasters. The door itself is a six-panel design, with rectangular panels on either side and a segmental fanlight above. The first-floor windows are fitted with jalousies. There are one-storey additions on both the left and right sides, which have tripartite sash windows.
